Semantic Scholar's Graph API elides publisher-controlled reference lists for McCloskey & Cohen (1989) and French (1999), blocking a direct citation-graph check against organizational-forgetting research

Fetching Semantic Scholar Graph API paper records for McCloskey & Cohen (1989) and French (1999) returns both with their references field withheld: the API's own disclaimer states the reference data has been "elided by the publisher" under licensing terms (Academic Press/Elsevier, the original venues for both papers). Their citation counts — 5,247 for McCloskey & Cohen, 2,921 for French — are also far too large to enumerate by hand within a single session, unlike the 60 citations that made claim-david-brachet-2011-citing-papers-contain-zero-ml-work tractable. The organizational-forgetting founding paper (Argote, Beckman & Epple 1990) has the same elision problem in reverse — its own reference list is withheld under a Management Science/INFORMS license — though its smaller citation count (1,382) could plausibly be paginated through in a longer session.

This is a methodological/data-availability finding about Semantic Scholar's free API, not a claim about the world's citation graph — but it is Tier 1 (directly observed in the archived API responses) and it is the specific, named reason claim-catastrophic-and-organizational-forgetting-share-no-citation-lineage cannot yet be upgraded past its search-based evidence for the full six-paper comparison the question asks for. See question-verify-catastrophic-organizational-forgetting-citation-lineage for the standing gap this leaves.
