Convert article identifiers with the PMC ID Converter

Source: R/rt_fetch.R
rt_convert_ids.Rd

Maps PubMed IDs, PMCIDs and DOIs to one another with the NCBI PMC ID Converter API. Only articles in PubMed Central have a PMCID.

Usage

rt_convert_ids(ids, email = NULL)

Arguments

ids

A character vector of PubMed IDs, PMCIDs or DOIs (mixed freely). Bare numbers are treated as PubMed IDs.

email

An optional contact email passed to NCBI, as its usage guidelines request for heavy use.

Value

A tibble with one row per input: the input `id`, and its `pmcid`, `pmid` and `doi` (`NA` where not found).
