I tried this with a specific document in Skim.
May be Skim can’t get the text of your particular document.
Here it is:
tell application "Skim"
tell document 1 to set tt to its text
end tell
tid("plot")
set k to count text items of tt
return k - 1
on tid(x)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to x
end did
