• Elsevier Scopus
    • Method of access
      • No GUI access
      • API available
        • API documentation: https://dev.elsevier.com/api_docs.html
        • The RDA uses the Scopus Search API to get the number of works that have cited a dataset and to build a list of those works
          • Get a list in JSON format of all works that have cited <DOI> (replace <DOI> with the desired DOI and <API-KEY> with your API key
            • https://api.elsevier.com/content/search/scopus?query=ALL:<DOI>&field=prism:doi,prism:url,prism:publicationName,prism:coverDate,prism:volume,prism:pageRange,prism:aggregationType,prism:isbn,dc:title&httpAccept=application/json&apiKey=<API-KEY>
          • For each work in the list, use the prism:url to get the author list for the work:
            • <prism:url>?field=author,dc:publisher&httpAccept=application/json&apiKey=<API-KEY>
          • Example: https://rda.ucar.edu/datasets/ds093.0/
          • Scope: Any DOI
  • Google Dataset Search
    • Method of access
      • web gui
      • No API available
    • Example: https://datasetsearch.research.google.com/search?query=10.5065%2FD69K487J
    • Scope
      • Likely all data with DOIs and/or indexed in NCAR DASH Search
  • Clarivate Data Citation Index
    • Method of access
      • Requires UCAR login
      • web gui - go to Web of Science, then choose "Data Citation Index" from the "Select a Database" dropdown
      • API may be available, still under investigation by Library
    • Example:
    • Scope
      • RDA is the only NCAR data archive indexed right now
      • Plan for Clarivate to index the metadata records in the DASH Search
  • Crossref Event Data
    • Method of access
      • API available
      • API documentation: https://www.crossref.org/services/event-data/
        • Get a list in JSON format of data citation "events" for data <DOI> (replace <DOI> with the desired DOI)
          • https://api.eventdata.crossref.org/v1/events?source=crossref&obj-id=<DOI>
        • For each work in the list, use the "subj_id" to get the author list for the work:
          • https://api.crossref.org/works/<DOI in subj_id>
        • Note: the API seems to be sensitive to frequent queries, so it is recommended to space queries by a few seconds and to implement a retry loop when server errors are encountered
      • Example: https://api.eventdata.crossref.org/v1/events?source=crossref&obj-id=10.5065/D69K487J
