openalexR

openalexR helps you interface with the OpenAlex API to retrieve bibliographic information about publications, authors, institutions, sources, funders, publishers, topics and keywords with 5 main functions:

• oa_fetch: composes three functions below so the user can execute everything in one step, i.e., oa_query |> oa_request |> oa2df

• oa_query: generates a valid query, written following the OpenAlex API syntax, from a set of arguments provided by the user.

• oa_request: downloads a collection of entities matching the query created by oa_query or manually written by the user, and returns a JSON object in a list format.

• oa2df: converts the JSON object in classical bibliographic tibble/data frame.

• oa_random: get random entity, e.g., oa_random("works") gives a different work each time you run it
