Load rcrossref
library('rcrossref')
If you are intending to access Crossref regularly you will want to send your email address with your queries. This has the advantage that queries are placed in the polite pool of servers. Including your email address is good practice as described in the Crossref documentation under Good manners. The second advantage is that Crossref can contact you if there is a problem with a query.
Details on how to register your email in a call can be found at ?rcrossref-package
. To pass your email address to Crossref, simply store it as an environment variable in .Renviron like this:
Open file: file.edit("~/.Renviron")
Add email address to be shared with Crossref crossref_email= "name@example.com"
Save the file and restart your R session
To stop sharing your email when using rcrossref simply delete it from your .Renviron file.
Use CrossRef's DOI Content Negotiation service, where you can citations back in various formats, including apa

Publishers can optionally provide links in the metadata they provide to Crossref for full text of the work, but that data is often missing. Find out more about it at http://tdmsupport.crossref.org/.
Get some DOIs for articles that provide full text, and that have CC-BY 3.0
licenses (i.e., more likely to actually be open)

From the output of cr_works
we can get full text links if we know where to look:
do.call("rbind", out$data$link) #> # A tibble: 58 x 4#> URL content.type content.version intended.applica…#> <chr> <chr> <chr> <chr> #> 1 http://www.atmos-chem-p… unspecified vor similarity-check…#> 2 http://www.biogeoscienc… unspecified vor similarity-check…#> 3 http://www.biogeoscienc… unspecified vor similarity-check…#> 4 http://downloads.hindaw… application… vor text-mining #> 5 http://downloads.hindaw… application… vor text-mining #> 6 http://downloads.hindaw… unspecified vor similarity-check…#> 7 http://downloads.hindaw… application… vor text-mining #> 8 http://downloads.hindaw… application… vor text-mining #> 9 http://downloads.hindaw… unspecified vor similarity-check…#> 10 http://downloads.hindaw… application… vor text-mining #> # ... with 48 more rows
From there, you can grab your full text, but because most links require authentication, enter another package: crminer
.
You'll need package crminer
for the rest of the work.
Onc we have DOIs, get URLs to full text content
if (!requireNamespace("crminer")) { install.packages("crminer") }
library(crminer) (links<- crm_links("10.1155/2014/128505")) #> $pdf#> <url> http://downloads.hindawi.com/archive/2014/128505.pdf#> #> $xml#> <url> http://downloads.hindawi.com/archive/2014/128505.xml#> #> $unspecified#> <url> http://downloads.hindawi.com/archive/2014/128505.pdf
Then use those URLs to get full text
