Defines functions retrievalByAuthorID

Documented in retrievalByAuthorID

#' Get Author Content on SCOPUS by ID
#'
#' Uses SCOPUS API search to get information about documents on a set of authors using SCOPUS ID.
#'
#' @param id is a vector of characters containing the author's SCOPUS IDs.
#' SCOPUS IDs con be obtained using the function \code{\link{idByAuthor}}.
#' @param api_key is a character. It contains the Elsvier API key. Information about how to obtain an API Key \href{https://dev.elsevier.com/sc_apis.html}{Elsevier API website}
#' @param remove.duplicated is logical. If TRUE duplicated documents will be deleted from the bibliographic collection.
#' @param country is logical. If TRUE authors' country information will be downloaded from SCOPUS.
#' @return a list containing two objects: (i) M which is a data frame with cases corresponding to articles and variables to main Field Tags named using the standard ISI WoS Field Tag codify.
#' M includes the entire bibliographic collection downloaded from SCOPUS.
#' The main field tags are:
#'
#' \tabular{lll}{
#' \code{AU}\tab   \tab Authors\cr
#' \code{TI}\tab   \tab Document Title\cr
#' \code{SO}\tab   \tab Publication Name (or Source)\cr
#' \code{DT}\tab   \tab Document Type\cr
#' \code{DE}\tab   \tab Authors' Keywords\cr
#' \code{ID}\tab   \tab Keywords associated by SCOPUS or ISI database \cr
#' \code{AB}\tab   \tab Abstract\cr
#' \code{C1}\tab   \tab Author Address\cr
#' \code{RP}\tab   \tab Reprint Address\cr
#' \code{TC}\tab   \tab Times Cited\cr
#' \code{PY}\tab   \tab Year\cr
#' \code{UT}\tab   \tab Unique Article Identifier\cr
#' \code{DB}\tab   \tab Database\cr}
#' (ii) authorDocuments which is a list containing a bibliographic data frame for each author.
#'
#' LIMITATIONS:
#' Currently, SCOPUS API does not allow to download document references.
#' As consequence, it is not possible to perform co-citation analysis (the field CR is empty).
#'
#' @examples
#' ## Request a personal API Key to Elsevier web page https://dev.elsevier.com/sc_apis.html
#'
#' ## api_key="your api key"
#'
#' ## create a data frame with the list of authors to get information and IDs
#' # i.e. df[1,1:3] <- c("aria","massimo","naples")
#' #      df[2,1:3] <- c("cuccurullo","corrado", "naples")
#'
#' ## run idByAuthor function
#' #
#' # authorsID <- idByAuthor(df, api_key)
#' #
#'
#' ## extract the IDs
#' #
#' # id <- authorsID[,3]
#' #
#'
#' ## create the bibliographic collection
#' #
#' # res <- retrievalByAuthorID(id, api_key)
#' #
#' # M <- res$M  # the entire bibliographic data frame
#' # M <- res$authorDocuments # the list containing a bibliographic data frame for each author
#'
#' @seealso \code{\link{idByAuthor}} for downloading author information and SCOPUS ID.
