Functioning
sosia performs a series of queries in the Scopus database using the pybliometrics package. After configuring your local pybliometrics (providing access credentials and eventually setting cache directories), you can use sosia:
>>> 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]) Match(ID='55022752500', name='Van der Borgh, Michel', first_name='Michel', surname='Van der Borgh', first_year=2012, num_coauthors=6, num_publications=5, num_citations=33, num_coauthors_period=6, num_publications_period=5, num_citations_period=33, subjects=['BUSI', 'COMP', 'SOCI'], country='Netherlands', affiliation_id='60032882', affiliation='Eindhoven University of Technology, Department of Industrial Engineering & Innovation Sciences', language='eng', reference_sim=0.0, abstract_sim=0.1217)
