show_authors: Simplify the OpenAlex authors result

In openalexR: Getting Bibliographic Records from 'OpenAlex' Database Using 'DSL' API

Simplify the OpenAlex authors result

Description

This function is mostly for the package's internal use, but we export it so you can try it out. However, we expect that you'll likely write your own function to simplify the result however you want.

Usage

show_authors(x, simp_func = utils::head)

Arguments

x	Dataframe/tibble. Result of the OpenAlex query for authors already converted to dataframe/tibble.
simp_func	R function to simplify the result. Default to 'head'. If you want the entire table, set 'simp_fun = identity'

Value

Simplified tibble to display. The first column, 'id' is the short-form OpenAlex ID of the authors.

Examples

show_authors(oa_fetch(
  identifier = c("A5023888391", "A5014077037"),
  verbose = TRUE
))
