Additions to the database #10

Closed chartgerink closed 6 years ago

chartgerink commented 7 years ago

Hi,

First off, I love papr! As I mentioned on Twitter, I had a random thought along these lines a few weeks ago, but I always love to see other people have the same idea but better :100:

Second, when I started using it I noticed it was rather difficult for me as a social scientist (read: I don't understand most of the preprints). So I wondered what I could do about that. Then I started fiddling around with the Open Science Framework API to download the metadata of their preprint services (PsyArxiv, LawArxiv, SocArxiv, and a few more I think; ~2500 preprints). Trial run: success :godmode:

Now, I was wondering what would be necessary for a database extension PR to be merged into the current database? An example of how I collect data now is based on the .Rda file (dat object) in the repo. I figured that it would be readily ingestable into your database, but thought I'd open an issue to see if that was the case.

I see much potential for papr and really excited to contribute. I think many researchers would love to move the Tinder meat market into the research paper area, and get specific recommendations for them (and get hooked up with researchers with similar interests). :robot:

Cheers, Chris
