Institution searches in `rorcid::orcid_search`

[ciakovx]

Thanks, it works, I needed to restart my session. I really appreciate your responsiveness, thank you.

[sckott]

was just a warning, these queries all result in 0 results. fixed now to give back an empty data.frame

[ciakovx]

Thanks for getting back so quickly. The interesting thing is, when I run these queries, I get data back, do you know why that is?

carberry <- rorcid::orcid(query = 'family-name:carberry AND affiliation-org-name:Wesleyan')
iakovakis <- rorcid::orcid(query = 'family-name:iakovakis AND affiliation-org-name:Oklahoma')

orcid_search() wraps orcid() - but it doesn't allow all possible fields to search on - I just added affiliation_org which maps to affiliation-org-name - so those examples should work now but using affiliation_org instead

you can see what the user facing params map to with rorcid:::field_match_list

[ciakovx]

Ah I see. Thanks Scott, that's great. Excellent work on orcid_search; it's far easier. I'm updating my walkthrough now. Much appreciated!

Sorry to bother you again, but it looks like affiliation_org is operating as an OR, not an AND. Each of the below examples should return a single result, but they are returning 10, 3, and 5 respectively.

carberry <- rorcid::orcid_search(family_name = 'carberry', 
                                 affiliation_org = 'Brown')
iakovakis <- rorcid::orcid_search(family_name = 'iakovakis', 
                                 affiliation_org = 'Oklahoma')
boettiger <- rorcid::orcid_search(family_name = 'boettiger',
                                  affiliation_org = 'California')

[sckott]

hmm, it shouldl be AND. i'm getting 1 row for each of those. did you reinstall from master? if you did, then run it with verbose = TRUE at the end to see what URL is being sent, mine looks like https://pub.orcid.org/v3.0/search?q=family-name%3Aboettiger%20AND%20affiliation-org-name%3ACalifornia&rows=10 (which uses AND)

[ciakovx]

It looks like current_inst, current_prim_inst, and past_inst are not supported--and there is not a way to designate these on one's ORCID profile. See https://github.com/ORCID/ORCID-Source/blob/master/orcid-api-web/tutorial/search.md:

The entire ORCID record is indexed and can be searched using basic keyword searching. Search can also be limited to the specific fields listed below:
Affiliations data

• affiliation-org-name
• ringgold-org-id
• grid-org-id

[sckott]

hmmm, that's too bad. I guess we should remove them maybe

[ciakovx]

It is too bad because affiliation-org-name searches across all of an individuals listed affiliations (employment, education, invited positions, membership & service) past and present. So it has the potential to return false positives--in other words, one should not use it to get ORCID iDs of all individuals currently at an institution, because it will include those who previously worked there or got their degree from there.

I would find it helpful to add the ringgold-org-id and grid-org-id whenever you have some time, if it's not too much trouble.

opened an issue for that

[ciakovx]

Thank you. Also I'm getting an error for the keywords argument: Error: Internal Server Error (HTTP 500). - org.apache.solr.client.solrj.impl.HttpSolrServer.RemoteSolrException Full validation error: undefined field keywords

carberry <- rorcid::orcid_search(family_name = 'carberry',
                                 keywords = 'psychoceramics')
