Mita,
A while back (I mean at least six years ago) I wrote some code to take
citations downloaded from an index provider, reformat them into bepress
spreadsheet format, and bulk upload them. The purpose of the project was to
identify published articles by University of California faculty, email them
that we had citations of their work in our system, and wouldn't they like
to upload their copy of their article into the repository? I don't have the
numbers on that project, but I recall that it did boost submissions.

Unfortunately, I think the code, which was likely crappy anyway, has long
since moldered to dust on a server somewhere that I no longer have access
to, but I can put you in touch with someone at UC who might be doing
something like this. I'll email you off-list.
