Description

Pull cited references

Usage

pull_cited_refs(uts, sid = auth(Sys.getenv("WOS_USERNAME"),
  Sys.getenv("WOS_PASSWORD")), ...)

Arguments

uts

Vector of UTs (i.e., publications) whose cited references you want.

sid

Session identifier (SID). The default setting is to get a fresh SID each time you query WoS via a call to auth. However, you should try to reuse SIDs across queries so that you don't run into the throttling limits placed on new sessions.

...

Arguments passed along to POST.
