ft_search: Search for full text

Description

ft_search is a one stop shop for searching for articles across many publishers and repositories. We currently support search for PLOS via the rplos package, Crossref via the rcrossref package, Entrez via the rentrez package, arXiv via the aRxiv package, and BMC and Biorxiv via internal helper functions in this package. Many publishers content is searchable via Crossref and Entrez - of course this doesn't mean that we can get full text for those articles. In the output objects of this function, we attempt to help by indicating what license is used for articles.

Usage

ft_search(query, from = "plos", limit = 10, plosopts = list(), bmcopts = list(), crossrefopts = list(), entrezopts = list(), arxivopts = list(), biorxivopts = list(), euroopts = list(), ...)
