Abstract
Recent efforts to make research publications public have had a profound effect on the scientific publishing landscape. With a large influx in publicly available research contributions, the need for software tooling that supports information retrieval from indexing services is invaluable. Complementing well established indexing services such as Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, etc. is CORE, which vows to provide a holistic view including contributions contained in aforementioned well established indexers. Conveniently, CORE offers an API for accessing data. This paper presents a client library that fully implements their API and enables quick and easy access to information, which is relevant for literature reviews as well as the scientific field of scientometrics.
期刊介绍:
SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
