Gather sources from GBIF data for citation

When using data obtained via rgbif::occ_search() and filtered with ssarp::find_areas() for a publication, you must keep a record of the datasets used in your analysis. This function assists in creating the dataframe necessary to follow GBIF's citation guidelines (see References).

Usage

get_sources(occs)

Arguments

occs

The occurrence record dataframe returned by rgbif::occ_search() or ssarp::find_areas().

Value

A dataframe of dataset keys and the number of occurrence records associated with each key that were gathered with rgbif::occ_search() and/or filtered with ssarp::find_areas().

Examples

# The GBIF key for the Anolis genus is 8782549
# Read in example dataset filtered from:
#  dat <- rgbif::occ_search(taxonKey = 8782549,
#                           hasCoordinate = TRUE,
#                           limit = 10000)
dat <- read.csv(system.file("extdata",
                            "ssarp_Example_Dat.csv",
                            package = "ssarp"))
source_df <- get_sources(occs = dat)
