Installation
============

Install stable version from PyPI:

.. code:: bash

    pip install sosia

or development version from GitHub repository:

.. code:: bash

    pip install git+https://github.com/sosia-dev/sosia

Functioning
===========

sosia performs a series of queries in the Scopus database using the `pybliometrics package 
<http://pybliometrics.readthedocs.io/>`_.  After configuring your local pybliometrics (providing access credentials and eventually setting cache directories), you can use sosia:

.. inclusion-marker-start
.. code-block:: python

    >>> import sosia
    >>> 
    >>> sosia.create_fields_sources_list()  # Necessary only once
    >>> sosia.make_database()  # Necessary only once
    >>> 
    >>> stefano = sosia.Original(55208373700, 2019)  # Scopus ID and year
    >>> stefano.define_search_sources()  # Sources similiar to scientist
    >>> stefano.define_search_group()  # Authors publishing in similar sources
    >>> stefano.find_matches()  # Find matches satisfying all criteria
    >>> print(stefano.matches)
    >>> ['55022752500', '55810688700', '55824607400']
    >>> stefano.inform_matches()  # Optional step to provide additional information
    >>> print(stefano.matches[0])
