crossref-to-retraction

This is a tiny module that converts CrossRef metadata to the format used in OpenRetractions.

The module exports a convert function (.convert()) and a through-stream (.stream()).

The input must be a CrossRef metadata update entry, i.e. it must have the key update-to. Passing in an entry that is not an update with throw an error.

install

npm install --save crossref-to-retraction

usage

var getretraction = require('crossref-to-retraction')

// .convert is a function that converts a single object
var retraction_object = getretraction.convert(raw_crossref_object)

// .stream is a through stream that converts an input stream
var retractions = getretraction.stream()

some_crossref_stream.pipe(retractions)

retractions.on('data', function (data) {
  // data is now an OpenRetractions format object
})
