Error using multiple ORCID ID's

[jofazepa]

When using rOrcid for multiple to get multiple ORCID, and this didn't happen before, just like the example in the tutorial:

ids <- c("0000-0003-1620-1408", "0000-0002-9341-7985")
lapply(orcid_id(orcid = ids), "[[", "orcid-identifier")

Returns this. I believe is a ddply problem with summarize, maybe mutate will solve the problem.

> Error: length(orcid) == 1 is not TRUE

thanks for the issue @jofazepa

can you share your sessionInfo() please

The new version of rorcid has some changes, one of which is orcid_id only accepts one ORCID.

you're looking for just getting the same ORCID id again from the result?

ids <- c("0000-0003-1620-1408", "0000-0002-9341-7985")
lapply(ids, function(x) names(orcid_id(x)))

I used to get bulk publications/work for multiple ORCID Ids, using this: x <- orcid_id(orcid = ids, profile = "works") When I got the error I just run through the rORCID tutorial and found the code I pasted here. Also tried other ways, like x <- lapply(orcid_id(orcid = ids), "[[", "orcid-identifier") And the same error happens. I was looking for a way to do the same thing, because that is why I use rORCID for, getting info from a group of researchers, but I see that the new version or rOrcid is unable to do it.

[sckott]

it is able to do that if you slightly change your code.

this in the new verison

ids <- c("0000-0003-1620-1408", "0000-0002-9341-7985")
lapply(ids, function(x) names(orcid_id(x)))

does exactly what this did in the old version

ids <- c("0000-0003-1620-1408", "0000-0002-9341-7985")
lapply(orcid_id(orcid = ids), "[[", "orcid-identifier")

[jofazepa]

This means that if I change "names" for "works" I get the works from them, like this: x <- lapply(ids, function(x) works(orcid_id(x))) Therefore just needing to change the list to a data.frame to be able to have an organized publications list for a set of orcid.ids.

[sckott]

right, the eg. I gave with names() was to just get exactly what your example code was doing. right, so just lapply or similar over your ORCID's

Thanks sckott.
