In ropensci/roadoi: Find Free Versions of Scholarly Publications via Unpaywall

roadoi - Use Unpaywall with R

knitr::opts_chunk$set(
  comment = "#>",
  collapse = TRUE,
  warning = FALSE,
  message = FALSE
)

roadoi interacts with the Unpaywall REST API, an openly available web-interface which returns metadata about open access versions of scholarly works.

This client supports the most recent API Version 2.

API Documentation: https://unpaywall.org/products/api

How do I use it?

Use the oadoi_fetch() function in this package to get open access status information and full-text links from Unpaywall.

roadoi::oadoi_fetch(dois = c("10.1038/ng.3260", "10.1093/nar/gkr1047"), 
                    email = "[e-mail]")

There are no API restrictions. However, providing an email address is required and a rate limit of 100k is suggested. If you need to access more data, use the data dump instead.

RStudio Addin

This package also has a RStudio Addin for easily finding free full-texts in RStudio.

How do I get it?

Install and load from CRAN:

install.packages("roadoi")
library(roadoi)

To install the development version, use the devtools package

devtools::install_github("ropensci/roadoi")
