Access data on a single medRxiv/bioRxiv record via the Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory API

server

Specify the server you wish to use: "medrxiv" (default) or "biorxiv"

clean

Logical, defaulting to TRUE, indicating whether to clean the data returned by the API. If TRUE, variables containing absolute paths to the preprints web-page ("link_page") and PDF ("link_pdf") are generated from the "server", "DOI", and "version" variables returned by the API. The "title", "abstract" and "authors" variables are converted to title case. Finally, the "type" and "server" variables are dropped.
