Automates the full text harvesting of dataset citations from various full text article databases, including Scopus, PLOS, Springer, and XDD.
remotes::install_github("DataONEorg/scythe@v1.1.0")
The scythe R package should be available for use at this point.
Development versions can be installed from GitHub.
remotes::install_github("DataONEorg/scythe@develop")
To set API keys for use in the package, see the section below on authentication.
library(scythe)
scythe_set_key(source = "scopus", secret = "YOUR KEY")
identifier <- "10.18739/A22274"
results <- citation_search(identifier)
The function scythe_set_key() manages API keys using the keyring package. keyring uses your operating system's credential store to securely keep track of key-value pairs. Running scythe_set_key() for the first time will prompt you to set a password for your keyring, should you need to lock or unlock it.
To obtain a Scopus API key, make an account at the Elseviers Developers Portal and create API key. Once you've obtained your key, you can use scythe_set_key() to securely set your key. This key is accessed in the citation_search() function, but you can also retrieve the value using keyring::key_get().
scythe_set_key(source = "scopus", secret = "YOUR_KEY")
keyring::key_get("scopus", keyring = "scythe")
The Springer Nature API key is available by creating an application here after signing up for an account. The key can be set and retrieved using:
scythe_set_key(source = "springer", secret = "YOUR_KEY")
keyring::key_get("springer", keyring = "scythe")
