Overview

About

Maintained by Scott ChamberlainCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Declared funder: rOpenSci

Get chunks of XML scholarly articles without having to know how to work with XML. Custom mappers for each publisher and for each article section pull out the information you want. Works with outputs from package 'fulltext', 'xml2' package documents, and file paths to XML documents.

Changes in 0.3.0

MINOR IMPROVEMENTS

improvements to pub_chunks() with sections="refs" (fetching references from an article). all reference extraction was simply extracting the entire reference, which lost all white space. now there are custom reference parsers for the various types of reference formats. there still are outstanding issues, so do please point out where ref. extraction is not correct (#2)
fix pub_guess_publisher examples error (#10)

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/pubchunks/pubchunks_0.3.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "pubchunks_0.3.0.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 (0.3.0) 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("ropensci/pubchunks")

Development version from ropensci/pubchunks. Installs pak first if it is not already available.
