| 111 | +- **Summary statistics** for each search |
| 112 | + |
| 113 | +## Customization |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +### Modify Queries |
| 116 | +Change the search terms in any cell: |
| 117 | +```python |
| 118 | +query = "your search term" # Replace with your topic |
| 119 | +limit = 10 # Number of papers to download |
| 120 | +``` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +### Add New Repositories |
| 123 | +Use different APIs: |
| 124 | +```python |
| 125 | +!pygetpapers --query "your query" --api europe_pmc --limit 5 |
| 126 | +!pygetpapers --query "your query" --api crossref --limit 5 |
| 127 | +!pygetpapers --query "your query" --api biorxiv --limit 5 |
| 128 | +``` |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +### Download Formats |
| 131 | +Choose what to download: |
| 132 | +```python |
| 133 | +# Metadata only |
| 134 | +!pygetpapers --query "query" --makecsv --makehtml |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +# Include PDFs (where available) |
| 137 | +!pygetpapers --query "query" --pdf --makecsv --datatables |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +# Full XML content |
| 140 | +!pygetpapers --query "query" --xml --makecsv |
| 141 | +``` |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +## Troubleshooting |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +### Common Issues |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +1. **Installation fails:** |
| 148 | + - Check internet connection |
| 149 | + - Restart runtime: "Runtime" → "Restart runtime" |
| 150 | + - Try running installation cell again |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +2. **No results found:** |
| 153 | + - Try different search terms |
| 154 | + - Check if repository is accessible |
| 155 | + - Reduce limit to 1-2 papers for testing |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +3. **PDF downloads fail:** |
| 158 | + - PDFs are only available for Europe PMC and some OpenAlex papers |
| 159 | + - Other repositories don't provide PDF downloads |
| 160 | + |
| 161 | +4. **Slow performance:** |
| 162 | + - Reduce `limit` parameter |
| 163 | + - Some repositories may be slow to respond |
| 164 | + - Check Colab's runtime status |
| 165 | + |
| 166 | +### Getting Help |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +- **Repository Issues**: Check the [pygetpapers GitHub repository](https://github.com/pygetpapers/pygetpapers) |
| 169 | +- **Colab Issues**: See [Google Colab documentation](https://colab.research.google.com/notebooks/basic_features_overview.ipynb) |
| 170 | +- **Network Issues**: Try different repositories or check your internet connection |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +## Advanced Usage |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +### Batch Processing |
| 175 | +Run multiple searches at once: |
| 176 | +```python |
| 177 | +queries = ["climate change", "global warming", "carbon dioxide"] |
| 178 | +apis = ["europe_pmc", "crossref", "biorxiv"] |
| 179 | + |
| 180 | +for api in apis: |
| 181 | + for query in queries: |
| 182 | + !pygetpapers --query "{query}" --api {api} --limit 3 --output /content/batch_output/{api}_{query.replace(' ', '_')} |
| 183 | +``` |
| 184 | + |
| 185 | +### Data Analysis |
| 186 | +Use the CSV files for further analysis: |
| 187 | +```python |
| 188 | +import pandas as pd |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +# Load metadata |
| 191 | +df = pd.read_csv("/content/pygetpapers_output/europe_pmc_climate/metadata.csv") |
| 192 | +print(f"Found {len(df)} papers") |
| 193 | +print(df.head()) |
| 194 | +``` |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +### Custom Datatables |
| 197 | +Modify the datatables for your needs: |
| 198 | +```python |
| 199 | +# Create custom datatables with specific columns |
| 200 | +!pygetpapers --query "your query" --datatables /content/custom_output --makecsv |
| 201 | +``` |
