Persistent identifiers (ORCIDs and DOIs)
Query by ORCID (https://orcid.org/). Returns items where the associated person is listed in the contacts section (e.g., as an author or point of contact).
Note: this query will only detect a person’s name in the contacts section if the name is matched to its ScienceBase directory record and if the directory record contains the person’s ORCID.
https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/items?q=&filter=party={"orcId":"0000-0001-8054-5139"}
Query by ORCID and limit search results to data release products: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/items?q=&filter=party={"orcId": "0000-0003-1329-5285"}&filter=systemType=Data+Release
Query by DOI: https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/items?filter=itemIdentifier={"type": "DOI","key": "doi:10.5066/P99K85SW"}
Additional options for data release queries
-
Data releases in progress (not yet published):
https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/items?q=&filter=browseCategory=Data Release - In Progress
Notenote: in-progress data releases have restricted permissions. Users will need to log in to view in-progress data releases for which they have read access.
-
Data releases published within a date range (customize URL by date range):
https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/items?q=&filter=systemType=Data Release&filter=dateRange={'dateType':'Publication','start':'2018-10-01','end':'2019-10-01'}
-
Data releases that have been revised after publication (customize URL by date range):
https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/items?q=&filter=systemType=Data Release&filter=dateRange={'dateType':'revision','start':'2018-10-01','end':'2019-10-01'}
-
Note: to filter the search results of any query by science center, append the following to the URL and customize by name: &filter=party={'type':'SDC Data Owner','name':'Science Analytics and Synthesis'}
https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/items?q=&filter=systemType=Data Release&filter=dateRange={'dateType':'Publication','start':'2018-10-01','end':'2019-10-01'}&filter=party={'type':'SDC Data Owner','name':'Science Analytics and Synthesis'}
