One suggestion: show the full reference of the DOI entered.

I wonder how OpenCitations populates their data? One example I tried showed 9 references where the paper had 30+.

Well, it has some caveats: a) the papers need to be in crossref, which is ~ 70% of DOIs b) it works bad with preprints for instance. The advantage is its fast and doesn't need to download/extract anything from the pdf. But for 100% reliability it would be probably necessary.
