Feature Request: Do snowball search also from DOI and not only from works id #259

Closed rkrug closed 3 months ago

rkrug commented 3 months ago

I am regularly doing snowball searches bed on DOIs.

For this I have to

  1. fetch the ids from the key papers DOIs
  2. do the snowball search (oa_snowball))

It would be great, if I could do the snowball search directly with the DOIs.

Cheers

Rainer

This was added as part of https://github.com/ropensci/openalexR/pull/26! - though it's been a while since it happened and it wasn't loudly advertised then.

@trangdata perhaps we could promote one of the tests you wrote for this behavior into examples?

https://github.com/ropensci/openalexR/blob/44a5287007c88a9d13549d585307cc8077fa367e/tests/testthat/test-oa_snowball.R#L42-L49

The doi argument is passed down to oa_fetch() through the ..., but FWIW we do currently say:

https://github.com/ropensci/openalexR/blob/44a5287007c88a9d13549d585307cc8077fa367e/R/oa_snowball.R#L4-L5

Oh - this is not refute ind the help file https://github.com/ropensci/openalexR/blob/44a5287007c88a9d13549d585307cc8077fa367e/R/oa_snowball.R#L3C30-L3C63

There it still says vector of openalex identifiers.

Thanks.

That's a good idea!
