    The reason given by @BenoîtKloeckner is the most common. You may just be “in between” versions, i.e.the paper goes from arXiv to journal and there is a shot lull in the data. Note this is a time of year when this happens a lot as papers distributed in 2018 are published in 2019 with ensuing readjustment of the counting algorithm, subtracting citations from 2018 and adding them to 2019.

    The simplest thing to do is stop worrying about your citations. It is sort of like worrying about the number of 'friends' on Facebook. Worry about doing good research and writing good papers - those are things you control or influence. Whether people cite you or not is just something to accept.

No. You could try to write Google but I don't know any case where this turned out to be succesful.
