While I've applauded this effort in the past, as I understand 
OpenCitations, it is still limited to third-party controlled research 
communication. "Open" in "OpenCitation" is used loosely.

OpenCittions does not acknowledge peer-reviewed works with "semantic 
citations" [1] that are self-published by authors on the "open" web.

I've submitted the survey FWIW. It'd be great if once day OpenCitations 
could can aim higher re "open".
