The dblp computer science bibliography at dblp.org provides open bibliographic information on major computer science journals and proceedings. Originally created at the University of Trier in 1993, dblp is now operated and further developed by Schloss Dagstuhl. This R package interfaces with the API, making data available to use from R.
Installation
You can install the development version of dblp from GitHub with:
#install.packages("devtools") install_github("KTH-Library/dblp", dependencies = TRUE)
Example
This is a basic example which shows you how make a search :
library(dblp) library(knitr) library(stringr) suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(dplyr)) # search for publications dblp_search("quantum computer")$content %>% select(starts_with("info")) %>% mutate(result = paste(`info.title`, `info.ee`, `info.url`)) %>% select(result) %>% slice(1:5) %>% kable()
| result |

Altmetric data for specific publication
How to retrieve Altmetric Count for a specific article using the Altmetric from the Altmetric Details Page - Counts Only API:
library(dblp) library(dplyr) library(knitr) library(httr) #> #> Attaching package: 'httr' #> The following object is masked from 'package:dblp': #> #> config # DOIs found for a specific author dois <- dblp_search("Gerald Q. Maguire Jr.")$content %>% pull(`info.doi`) # Pick one and retrieve Altmetric data from the # Altmetric Details Page - Counts Only API # https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ndVY8Q2LOaZO_P_HDmSQulagjeUrS250mAL2N5V8GvY/edit#gid=0 # https://help.altmetric.com/support/solutions/articles/6000086844-sample-api-response urls <- sprintf("https://api.altmetric.com/v1/doi/%s", dois) resp <- GET(urls[6]) parsed <- content(resp) link <- sprintf("<a href='%s' title='%s'><img src='%s'></img>%s with DOI: %s</a>", parsed$details_url, parsed$title, parsed$images$medium, parsed$title, parsed$doi)
We can now display a link to the Altmetric Details Page for this article:

Altmetrics data is provided by Altmetric.com, a research metrics company who track and collect the online conversations around millions of scholarly outputs. Altmetric continually monitors a variety of non-traditional sources to provide real-time updates on new mentions and shares of individual research outputs, which are collated and presented to users via the Altmetric details pages and badge visualisations. Each research output that Altmetric finds attention for is also given a score; a weighted count of the online attention it has received. Further information about how the Altmetric Attention Score is calculated is available here.
