Find a Study

Description

Return the identifiers of studies that match given properties

Usage

studies_find_studies(
  property = NULL,
  value = NULL,
  verbose = FALSE,
  exact = FALSE,
  detailed = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

property

The property to be searched on (character)
value

The property value to be searched on (character)
verbose

Should the output include all metadata (logical default FALSE)
exact

Should exact matching be used? (logical, default FALSE)
detailed

If TRUE (default), the function will return a data frame that summarizes information about the study (see ‘Value’). Otherwise, it only returns the study identifiers.
...

additional arguments to customize the API request (see rotl package documentation).

Value

If detailed=TRUE, the function returns a data frame listing the study id (study_ids), the number of trees associated with this study (n_trees), the tree ids (at most 5) associated with the studies (tree_ids), the tree id that is a candidate for the synthetic tree if any (candidate), the year of publication of the study (study_year), the title of the publication for the study (title), and the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for the study (study_doi).

If detailed=FALSE, the function returns a data frame with a single column containing the study identifiers.

See Also

studies_properties which lists properties against which the studies can be searched. list_trees that returns a list for all tree ids associated with a study.

Examples

## Not run: 
## To match a study for which the identifier is already known
one_study <- studies_find_studies(property="ot:studyId", value="pg_719")
list_trees(one_study)

## To find studies pertaining to Mammals
mammals <- studies_find_studies(property="ot:focalCladeOTTTaxonName",
                                value="mammalia")
## To extract the tree identifiers for each of the studies
list_trees(mammals)
## ... or for a given study
list_trees(mammals, "ot_308")

## Just the identifiers without other information about the studies
mammals <- studies_find_studies(property="ot:focalCladeOTTTaxonName",
                                value="mammalia", detailed=FALSE)
