I am performing a bibliometric analysis, and have chosen to use rscopus to automate my document searches. I performed a test search, and it worked; the documents returned by scopus_search() exactly matched a manual check that I performed. Here's my issue: rscopus returned only information on the first author (and their affiliation) of each article, but I need information on all authors/affiliations for each article pulled for my particular research questions. I've scoured the rscopus documentation, as well as Elsevier's Developer notes for API use, but can't figure this out. Any ideas on what I'm missing?
query1 <- 'TITLE-ABS-KEY ( ( recreation ) AND ( management ) AND (challenge)'
run1 <- scopus_search(query = query1, api_key = apikey, count = 20,
view = c('STANDARD', 'COMPLETE'), start = 0, verbose = TRUE,
max_count = 20000, http = 'https://api.elsevier.com/content/search/scopus',
headers = NULL, wait_time = 0)
I wanted to post an update since I figured out what was going wrong. I was using the university VPN to access the Scopus API, but the IP address associated with that VPN was not within the range of addresses included in my institution's Scopus license. So, I did not have permission to get "COMPLETE" results. I reached out to Elsevier and very quickly got an institution key that I could add to the search. My working search looks as follows...
query1 <- 'TITLE-ABS-KEY ( ( recreation ) AND ( management ) AND (challenge)'
run1 <- scopus_search(query = query1, api_key = apikey, count = 20,
view = c('COMPLETE'), start = 0, verbose = TRUE,
max_count = 20000, http='https://api.elsevier.com/content/search/scopus',
