Introduction

Currently harvesting:

- CrossRef by ROR
- ORCID
- CrossRef DOIs

Usage

The harvests are typically run through GitHub actions but could also be run on the command line.

You need to have a CaltechAUTHORS token available in the environment variable RDMTOK. For a CrossRef ROR harvest type

python harvest.py crossref

You can harvest a specific DOI with

python harvest.py -doi 10.7717/peerj-cs.1023

For an ORCID harvest type:

python harvest.py orcid -orcid 0000-0001-9266-5146

For all harvests there is an -actor flag, which gets included in the message when the record is added to the queue.

Installation

For command line use you need the latest version of irdmtools installed:

curl https://caltechlibrary.github.io/irdmtools/installer.sh | sh

Then install the python requirements with

pip install -r requirements.txt

Known issues and limitations

While this approach should work for any InvenioRDM repository, it has only been tested on CaltechAUTHORS. If you're interested in using this with a different repository reach out as we would be happy to make it a bit more flexible.

Publishers use a wide variety of urls for licenses. We are currently adding variants to the license.csv file, which is a custom file that connects urls to the InvenioRDM license names. It is almost certainly incomplete.
