Python WoS tools

Translates ISI Web of Knowledge files into python objects.

Quickstart

Install the library by:

$ pip install wostools

Say you want to grab the title of all the articles in an ISI file, you can grab this example file.

>>> from wostools import Cached
>>> collection = Cached.from_filenames('docs/examples/bit-pattern-savedrecs.txt')
>>> for article in collection:
...     print(article.title)
In situ grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering study of solvent vapor annealing in lamellae-forming block copolymer thin films: Trade-off of defects in deswelling
Structural control of ultra-fine CoPt nanodot arrays via electrodeposition process
Porphyrin-based Pt/Pd-containing metallopolymers: Synthesis, characterization, optical property and potential application in bioimaging
Syntheses and Controllable Self-Assembly of Luminescence Platinum(II) Plane-Coil Diblock Copolymers
# ...

Never fear wostools cli is here. To help you do some common tasks right from your terminal.

$ wostools --help
$ # To extract all the properties in a json file
$ wostools to-json docs/examples/bit-pattern-savedrecs.txt --output=document.json
