9 years ago The only ones from this list that would be useful for faceted search are:
Category Name might be useful, though since this is not a discovery tool, I don;t think it's a relevant usecase.

9 years ago I assume we can do faceted search with the ALM API. is that correct and what fields are available?

9 years ago We can't do faceted search with the ALM API. You normally need Solr (or Elasticsearch) for this feature.

9 years ago Apologies, I meant PLOS Search API since all the article metadata used in the ALM Reports searching functionality pulls from the PLOS Search API (not the PLOS ALM API). All of that information (article metadata) is indexed in our Solr instance.
Please confirm or deny that we can do faceted search for PLOS ALM Reports. I'm most interested in providing this feature for our internal users of ALM Reports as this addresses a whole host their needs.

}}Which fields would we like to facet on for PLOS?

9 years ago The PLOS Search web interface facets on journal, subject area and article_type. We discussed before that subject_area might be too complex for this iteration. Faceting on publication year - if possible - would be helpful.

9 years ago This is being addressed in #121, so I'll close this as duplicate.
By switching to the CrossRef API, which is a bit more restrictive about which fields you can search through directly, we have a good opportunity to introduce faceted search.
These are the facets returned for a simple "biology" search (http://api.crossref.org/works?query=biology&facet=t), for example:
To get this discussion started: which of these are the most important? @jenniferlin15 your feedback would be great here.
