Islandora Scopus

Introduction

Islandora Scopus displays a badge showing how many articles in Scopus have cited your object. For use with Islandora Badges.

You do NOT need to be a Scopus subscriber to use this module. You can get a Scopus API key for free.

Uses the Scopus Abstract Citation Count API. A default API key is included, but this is intended for demo purposes only and is very limited. You should get your own free API key from Scopus.

Badges will only display on objects that have a MODS datastream and a DOI (digital object identifier).

Requirements

This module requires the following modules/libraries:

Installation

Install as usual, see this for further information.

Configuration

Configuration path is admin/islandora/tools/badges/scopus (Administration > Islandora > Islandora Utility Modules > Islandora Badges Configuration > Scopus).

There is one administration field:

  • Scopus API Key
    • Required to acquire citation counts. Do not use the included default in production - it's for demo purposes only.
    • You can get a free API key without subscribing

Once enabled, a block is available, which displays a badge on pages that have a DOI as configured and some metrics. If it has a DOI but no badge appears, then the article does not currently have any metrics.

Styling

The Drupal Block Class module helps to facilitate block positioning with CSS.
