Hi,

When I ran the 'core' query,  I would get the field fullTextReceivedDate.

However, I'm no longer getting that field. Has there been a change? How can I extract that field?

Best wishes,

Farooq

Hi Farooq,

We do have the fullTextReceivedDate field in our core response for full-text articles loaded in Europe PMC.
For example: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/article/MED/37278349?resultType=core

May l know for which article id you are expecting the fullTextReceivedDate?


Kind regards,
Madhu

Thanks Madhu, 

I'm running a query through Excel Power Query - submitting a list of DOIs to extract the metadata - request type is core.

Power Query: Web.Contents("https://www.ebi.ac.uk/europepmc/webservices/rest/search?query=doi:" & [DOI] & "&resulttype=core") 

I used to get the following fields:

May
  1. version
  2. hitCount
  3. request.queryString
  4. request.resultType
  5. request.cursorMark
  6. request.pageSize
  7. request.sort
  8. request.synonym
  9. resultList.result.id
  10. resultList.result.source
  11. resultList.result.pmid
  12. resultList.result.pmcid
  13. resultList.result.fullTextIdList
  14. resultList.result.doi
  15. resultList.result.title
  16. resultList.result.authorString
  17. resultList.result.authorList
  18. resultList.result.journalInfo
  19. resultList.result.pubYear
  20. resultList.result.pageInfo
  21. resultList.result.abstractText
  22. resultList.result.affiliation
  23. resultList.result.publicationStatus
  24. resultList.result.language
  25. resultList.result.pubModel
  26. resultList.result.pubTypeList
  27. resultList.result.keywordList
  28. resultList.result.fullTextUrlList
  29. resultList.result.isOpenAccess
  30. resultList.result.inEPMC
  31. resultList.result.inPMC
  32. resultList.result.hasPDF
  33. resultList.result.hasBook
  34. resultList.result.hasSuppl
  35. resultList.result.citedByCount
  36. resultList.result.hasData
  37. resultList.result.hasReferences
  38. resultList.result.hasTextMinedTerms
  39. resultList.result.hasDbCrossReferences
  40. resultList.result.hasLabsLinks
  41. resultList.result.authMan
  42. resultList.result.epmcAuthMan
  43. resultList.result.nihAuthMan
  44. resultList.result.hasTMAccessionNumbers
  45. resultList.result.dateOfCreation
  46. resultList.result.firstIndexDate
  47. resultList.result.fullTextReceivedDate
  48. resultList.result.dateOfRevision
  49. resultList.result.firstPublicationDate
  50. resultList.result.authorIdList
  51. resultList.result.dataLinksTagsList
  52. resultList.result.grantsList

But now I get these fields:

June
  1. version
  2. hitCount
  3. request.queryString
  4. request.resultType
  5. request.cursorMark
  6. request.pageSize
  7. request.sort
  8. request.synonym
  9. resultList.result.id
  10. resultList.result.source
  11. resultList.result.pmid
  12. resultList.result.doi
  13. resultList.result.title
  14. resultList.result.authorString
  15. resultList.result.authorList
  16. resultList.result.authorIdList
  17. resultList.result.dataLinksTagsList
  18. resultList.result.journalInfo
  19. resultList.result.pubYear
  20. resultList.result.pageInfo
  21. resultList.result.publicationStatus
  22. resultList.result.language
  23. resultList.result.pubModel
  24. resultList.result.pubTypeList
  25. resultList.result.fullTextUrlList
  26. resultList.result.isOpenAccess
  27. resultList.result.inEPMC
  28. resultList.result.inPMC
  29. resultList.result.hasPDF
  30. resultList.result.hasBook
  31. resultList.result.hasSuppl
  32. resultList.result.citedByCount
  33. resultList.result.hasData
  34. resultList.result.hasReferences
  35. resultList.result.hasTextMinedTerms
  36. resultList.result.hasDbCrossReferences
  37. resultList.result.hasLabsLinks
  38. resultList.result.authMan
  39. resultList.result.epmcAuthMan
  40. resultList.result.nihAuthMan
  41. resultList.result.hasTMAccessionNumbers
  42. resultList.result.dateOfCreation
  43. resultList.result.firstIndexDate
  44. resultList.result.dateOfRevision
  45. resultList.result.firstPublicationDate
  46. resultList.result.grantsList
There are fewer fields for some reason.

Best wishes, 

Farooq

Hi Farooq, 

Looks like some of the missing fields are specific to articles with full text loaded in EPMC (pmcidfullTextIdListfullTextReceivedDate). So of it's not a full text article, these fields won't be there ( You can Identify it by the field called "inPMC": "N")

For the rest of the missing fields (keywordListaffiliation, abstractText), could be the fact that there are no actual data for those fields wrt the article. May I know some of your doi's for which there are these missing fields?

king regards,
Made

Hi Madhu,

The problem is some of the fields I used to get no longer come up at all. For example, when I submitted this doi:10.1093/neuonc/noy129.009, I would get the full text receive date field, but now for the same DOI, that field no longer appears even though there is a text receive date. I've also run the queries through the R package but encountered the same issue.

Best wishes,

Farooq

Hi Farooq,

I ran a query for the same and I am able to see the full text receive date field. 
Could you please double check from your side?


kind regards,
Madhu

Thanks Madhu,

The issue is when the query is written to a CSV file or run through Excel Power Query:
  1. when the query is run through Excel Power Query and results loaded not all the fields are showing
  2. when the query is run through R and the results written to a CSV file not all the fields are showing
Best wishes, 

Farooq

Hi Farooq,

Okay, so it looks like something to be checked when loading the results. 
Please let us know if you have any further queries regarding the api.
