openAlex location info

[yhan818]

Currently openAlexR only provides location info for DOI and PubMed only.

OpenAlex original data has more location info. For example, https://api.openalex.org/works/W2985709543

• see "locations": location 0: "is_oa": true, "landing_page_url", and "pdf_url", "host_organization_name", etc.
• see "best_oa_location":

This information is important for an institution to evaluate its scholarly publishing efforts. There are other uses of this data.

Can this feature to be developed?

Thank you,

We have unpacked a lot of these fields (slightly different names) in the dataframe output, but if you need more extensive results, you can set output = "list" which will return a nested list of all fields.

library(openalexR)
w <- oa_fetch(identifier = "W2985709543")
w[c("is_oa", "pdf_url", "host_organization", "url")]
#> # A tibble: 1 × 4
#>   is_oa pdf_url host_organization url                              
#>   <lgl> <lgl>   <chr>             <chr>                            
#> 1 FALSE NA      Wiley-Blackwell   https://doi.org/10.1111/tid.13204
