Using Scopus is not free. You need to have a license or institutional access to use it. Got to http://dev.elsevier.com/myapikey.html to register and get a key. scopus expects this key to be in a variable called MY_API_KEY defined in ~/.scopus/my_scopus.py. I recommend you create it like this.
MY_API_KEY = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'This module implements the http://dev.elsevier.com/retrieval.html API. The main entry point is the ScopusAbstract class, which takes a Scopus EID and an optional refresh boolean value. Retrieving these results is not fast, so we cache them to speed up subsequent uses of the code. Sometimes you may want new results, e.g. to get citation counts, and then you set refresh=True.
from scopus.scopus_api import ScopusAbstract
ab = ScopusAbstract("2-s2.0-84930616647")
print(ab)You can print the abstract in a variety of formats, including LaTeX, bibtex, HTML, and RIS. Here is an example. For bibtex entries, you get a uuid for the key.
from scopus.scopus_api import ScopusAbstract
ab = ScopusAbstract("2-s2.0-84930616647")
print(ab.bibtex)
print(ab.ris)
The abstract has a number of properties on it.
from scopus.scopus_api import ScopusAbstract
ab = ScopusAbstract("2-s2.0-84930616647")
print([x for x in dir(ab) if '__' not in x])Some of these are objects themselves. Here we consider the authors, which is a list of scopus.scopus_api.ScopusAuthor objects. These objects have quite a bit of information on them.
from scopus.scopus_api import ScopusAbstract
ab = ScopusAbstract("2-s2.0-84930662492")
for au in ab.authors:
print(au)
print([x for x in dir(au) if '__' not in x])Another item of potential interest is the journal. Here we can access information about the journal impact factors of an article.
from scopus.scopus_api import ScopusAbstract, ScopusJournal
ab = ScopusAbstract("2-s2.0-84930616647")
print(ScopusJournal(ab.issn))This is a class to enable you to perform a query and then retrieve the records of the query for analysis. The EIDs for the search are cached so subsequent analysis is quicker. This class mostly just provides a list of EIDs which you can use for the ScopusAbstract class.
from scopus.scopus_search import ScopusSearch
s = ScopusSearch('FIRSTAUTH ( kitchin j.r. )')
print(s.org_summary)
This class differs from the author class described in scopus_api. This class is to interact with the entire author record in Scopus, using the author’s scopus id. The ScopusAuthor object can access many bits of data about an author, including the number of papers, h-index, author impact factor, etc…
from scopus.scopus_author import ScopusAuthor
au = ScopusAuthor(7004212771)
print([x for x in dir(au) if '__' not in x])from scopus.scopus_author import ScopusAuthor
au = ScopusAuthor(7004212771)
print([a.name for a in au.get_coauthors()])from scopus.scopus_author import ScopusAuthor
au = ScopusAuthor(7004212771)
print(au)
This module provides a function to generate a report on a scopus search. It outputs text in org-format. It summarizes the results in a variety of ways, such as the number of hits, which journals they are published in, who the coauthors are, how many times the articles have been published, etc…
