ScopusSearch Complete View N authors limit? #194

Closed IvanSterligov closed 3 years ago

IvanSterligov commented 3 years ago

Hello and many thanks for your work,

I'm using pybliometrics to do fractional counting on large sets of megacollaboration papers (LHC, epidemiology, etc).

Generally the "au-id to af-id" field of ScopusSearch complete view works well, but in this case there seems to be a limit on total number of authors displayed (max 100 authors), so for papers exceeding this limit I have to use AbstractRetrieval instead.

Is this max100 author limit implemented in pybliometrics or in scopus api itself? I did not find any mentions of it in https://dev.elsevier.com/sc_search_views.html or elsewhere.

Best regards, Ivan

Hi @IvanSterligov ! Yes indeed, it's a restriction on their side, unfortunately. And yes, it's not documented (some other things aren't). So it's not something pybliometrics does; You can verify yourself by looking at the cached json.

Ah, just as I expected... thanks for clarification!
