Save a scopus_records tibble to disk and read it back, with a stable round-trip. The file extension selects the format. An .rds file preserves the types and class exactly, while a .csv file is portable plain text. The optional authkeywords column a view = "COMPLETE" retrieval adds (see scopus_records()) round-trips through both formats.

Usage

write_scopus_records(x, path)

read_scopus_records(path)

Arguments

x

A scopus_records tibble to write.

path

Explicit file path. The functions read from, or write to, exactly this path and leave the working directory alone. Parent directories are assumed to exist already.

Value

write_scopus_records() returns x invisibly. read_scopus_records() returns a scopus_records tibble.

Examples

# A round trip on the bundled corpus of real articles, which stands in for
# a retrieval of your own because 'Scopus' records may not be redistributed.
# The .rds form restores the object exactly.
rds <- tempfile(fileext = ".rds")
write_scopus_records(example_records, rds)
identical(read_scopus_records(rds), example_records)
#> [1] TRUE

# The .csv form is portable plain text and reads back to the same schema.
csv <- tempfile(fileext = ".csv")
write_scopus_records(example_records, csv)
head(read_scopus_records(csv))
#> <scopus_records> 6 records
#> query: "graphene supercapacitor"
