Ability to search by a specific field about rest-api-doc

[kjw]

Now available as field queries on /works:

https://github.com/CrossRef/rest-api-doc/blob/master/rest_api.md#field-queries

(Except subject and abstract. But that's a whole other kettle of fish.)

[jure]

Fantastic! Great work @kjw!

[sckott]

+1 for this feature

[JanneSeppanen]

Do you know if this is supported yet, and if so how? I see there is a field "author":[{"family":"Heisenberg","given":"Werner"} in the crossref api response, any way to filter by it?

[kjw]

Not yet supported, but 'coming soon'. Will update this issue when available.

Thanks @jure - sorry it took so long!

[JanneSeppanen]

Many thanks from me too - this is extremely useful for us too!

Another thing (probably not your responsibility at all but maybe you
can forward to someone):

CrossRef database has publications from the distant future, for
example these ones from the year 2112:
http://search.crossref.org/?q=%22European+Journal+of+Clinical+Nutrition%22&sort=year

Maybe you have secretly invented a time-machine or these are just
really early access papers :) , but in case it is an error, perhaps
CrossRef wants to look into it.

Kind regards,
Janne

@JanneSeppanen I'm glad to hear the API is useful to you. As for publication dates that are in the future - in this specific case we will get in contact with the publisher and encourage them to deposit corrected metadata. We are also starting a project to track common errors and improve our reporting, which I hope will lead to fewer obvious metadata errors in the future.
