mx_api_doi

Provides programmatic access to data on a single preprint
 identified by a unique Digital Object Identifier (DOI).

An increasingly important source of health-related bibliographic
content are preprints - preliminary versions of research articles that have
yet to undergo peer review. The two preprint repositories most relevant to
health-related sciences are medRxiv <https://www.medrxiv.org/> and
bioRxiv <https://www.biorxiv.org/>, both of which are operated by the Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory. 'medrxivr' provides programmatic access to the
'Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory (CSHL)' API <https://api.biorxiv.org/>,
allowing users to easily download medRxiv and bioRxiv preprint metadata
(e.g. title, abstract, publication date, author list, etc) into R.
'medrxivr' also provides functions to search the downloaded preprint records
using regular expressions and Boolean logic, as well as helper functions
that allow users to export their search results to a .BIB file for easy
import to a reference manager and to download the full-text PDFs of
preprints matching their search criteria.

mx_api_doi function

<dl><dt>doi</dt>
<dd>Digital object identifier of the preprint you wish to retrieve
data on.</dd>
<dt>server</dt>
<dd>Specify the server you wish to use: "medrxiv" (default) or
"biorxiv"</dd>
<dt>clean</dt>
<dd>Logical, defaulting to TRUE, indicating whether to clean the
data returned by the API. If TRUE, variables containing absolute paths to
the preprints web-page ("link_page") and PDF ("link_pdf") are generated
from the "server", "DOI", and "version" variables returned by the API. The
"title", "abstract" and "authors" variables are converted to title case.
Finally, the "type" and "server" variables are dropped.</dd></dl>
