Unable to install the package rmetadata in R

98 Views Asked by At

My primary goal is to extract metadata of an article using the title and journal name. To do so, rmetadata package is useful according to the blog https://ropensci.org/blog/2013/03/15/r-metadata/. However, I'm unable to install the package using the install_github() function. Any help? Thanks!

The repo is now archived at https://github.com/ropensci-archive/rmetadata

It does install though, try remotes::install_github("ropensci-archive/rmetadata")

However, that package is no longer maintained. You probably want to use rcrossref, see the docs at https://docs.ropensci.org/rcrossref/. e.g.,

install.packages("rcrossref")
res = cr_works(flq = c(`query.container-title` = 'Ecology', 
 `query.bibliographic` = 'An assessment of statistical methods for
  nonindependent data in ecological meta-analyses'))

See the Crossref API docs http://api.crossref.org/swagger-ui/index.html#/Works/get_works as well
