Overview

About

Maintained by Gaston BecerraCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Crawler for 'OJS' pages and scraper for meta-data from articles. You can crawl 'OJS' archives, issues, articles, galleys, and search results. You can scrape articles metadata from their head tag in html, or from Open Archives Initiative ('OAI') records. Most of these functions rely on 'OJS' routing conventions (https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/dev/documentation/en/architecture-routes).

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/ojsr/ojsr_0.1.5.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "ojsr_0.1.5.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.5) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("gastonbecerra/ojsr")

Development version from gastonbecerra/ojsr. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
