My primary goal is to extract metadata of an article using the title and journal name. To do so, rmetadata package is useful according to the blog https://ropensci.org/blog/2013/03/15/r-metadata/. However, I'm unable to install the package using the install_github() function. Any help? Thanks!
The repo is now archived at https://github.com/ropensci-archive/rmetadata
It does install though, try remotes::install_github("ropensci-archive/rmetadata")
However, that package is no longer maintained. You probably want to use rcrossref, see the docs at https://docs.ropensci.org/rcrossref/. e.g.,
install.packages("rcrossref")
res = cr_works(flq = c(`query.container-title` = 'Ecology',
`query.bibliographic` = 'An assessment of statistical methods for
nonindependent data in ecological meta-analyses'))
See the Crossref API docs http://api.crossref.org/swagger-ui/index.html#/Works/get_works as well
