Abstract: With over 20 million records, the ADS citation database is 
regularly used by researchers and librarians to measure the scientific 
impact of individuals, groups, and institutions. In addition to the 
traditional sources of citations, the ADS has recently added references 
extracted from the arXiv e-prints on a nightly basis. We review the 
procedures used to harvest and identify the reference data used in the 
creation of citations, the policies and procedures that we follow to avoid 
double-counting and to eliminate contributions which may not be scholarly 
in nature. Finally, we describe how users and institutions can easily 
obtain quantitative citation data from the ADS, both interactively and via 
web-based programming tools.
