{'id': '5975467',
 'name': 'Agus Zainal Arifin',
 'url': 'http://sinta.ristekbrin.go.id/authors/detail?id=5975467&view=overview',
 'affiliation': {'id': '417',
                 'name': 'Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember',
                 'url': 'http://sinta.ristekbrin.go.id//affiliations/detail/?id=417&view=overview'},
 'areas': ['computer vision',
           'image processing',
           'information retrieval',
           'medical imaging',
           'machine learning'],
 'score': {'overall': 36.9,
           '3_years': 7.26,
           'overall_v2': 3304.0,
           '3_years_v2': 1284.5},
 'rank': {'national': 614,
          '3_years_national': 472,
          'affiliation': 26,
          '3_years_affiliation': 21},
 'scopus': {'documents': '50',
            'citations': '341',
            'h-index': '8',
            'i10-index': '6',
            'g-index': '14'},
 'scholar': {'documents': '220',
             'citations': '1067',
             'h-index': '13',
             'i10-index': '23',
             'g-index': '25'},
 'books': 0,
 'ipr': 2}

Other formats can be used by specifying the output_format argument:

author = sinta.author(id, output_format='json')

Avalable output formats:

• 'dictionary' (default)
• 'json'
• 'xml'

JSON output can be pretty-printed by setting pretty_print=True:

author = sinta.author(id, output_format='json', pretty_print=True)

For XML output, there are two library options which can be specified in the xml_library argument. These libraries give different output formats. The options are:

• dicttoxml (default)
• dict2xml

For example:

author = sinta.author(id, output_format='xml', xml_library='dict2xml')

If you want the XML output to be pretty-printed, you need to choose dict2xml since xmltodict does not produce pretty-printed XML output.
