I would like to try and get a number of citations rejected by the CIAT staff before publishing to the CiteMS for the year 2010. Here is an email from Cynthia that explains a little more clearly what I need:

"The number of citations published [to the CiteMS] is slightly inflated due to fast tracking but the number that is giving you the most concern is the number of citations rejected. The number of citations retrieved and published are generated differently than the number of citations rejected. The number of citations retrieved and published is a count of individual unique citation records. The number of citations rejected is a count of summary topic assignments rejected. For example, a citation assigned 6 summary topics…if I reject all 6 summary topics then this counts as 6 rejections. If I accept 3 and reject 3, this counts as 3 rejections but only 1 published citation. And since most citations in the CiteMS are assigned multiple summary topics, the number rejected is going to seem incorrect unless you are looking at it broken down by summary topic or at least by board.
You could ask Alan to run an ad hoc query of the database to look for any citation from 2010 that has at least one rejected summary topic and use that number instead. This number will not be completely accurate since many of the citations with one rejected topic may have several others that were accepted. Because the number of citations rejected is summary topic dependant, these sorts of generalized statistics lose value."

We can discuss this at the meeting and see how difficult it would be to do. I am not sure it is really going to give me exactly what I am looking for.
