get_study_meta(study_id, ...)

Arguments

sm

an object created by get_study_meta

study_id

the study identifier (character)

...

additional arguments to customize the API request (see rotl package documentation).

Value

named-list containing the metadata associated with the study requested

Details

get_study_meta returns a long list of attributes for the studies that are contributing to the synthetic tree. To help with the extraction of relevant information from this list, several helper functions exists:

  • get_tree_ids The identifiers of the trees associated with the study

  • get_publication The citation information of the publication for the study. The DOI (or URL) for the study is available as an attribute to the returned object (i.e., attr(object, "DOI") ) .

  • candidate_for_synth The identifier of the tree(s) from the study used in the synthetic tree. This is a subset of the result of get_tree_ids. get_study_year The year of publication of the study.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
req <- get_study_meta("pg_719")
get_tree_ids(req)
candidate_for_synth(req)
get_publication(req)
get_study_year(req)
}
