Source: R/id_convert.R
id_convert.Rd

Convert scholarly identifiers across registries, for example from PMID to DOI.

Usage

id_convert(
  x,
  to = scholidonline_types(),
  from = NULL,
  provider = c("auto", .scholidonline_providers()),
  ...,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Arguments

x

A character vector of scholarly identifiers.

to

A single target identifier type string, such as "doi" or "pmid". See scholidonline_types() for all supported values.

from

A single source identifier type string, or NULL to infer the source type for each element of x.

provider

A single provider string specifying which online service to use for the conversion. Use "auto" to use the default provider for the requested conversion. In most cases, "auto" is appropriate.

...

Reserved for future provider-specific arguments.

quiet

A single logical value; if TRUE, suppress provider warnings and messages where possible.

Value

A character vector of converted identifiers. Elements that cannot be identified, normalized, or converted return NA_character_.
