Hi all,

The July snapshot is ready to download! Changes are:

- new work type: retraction
- used data from Pubmed to reclassify 4M works from type "article" to one of: editorial, erratum, letter, preprint, review, retraction
- improved type classification for works using string matching
- change titles (display_name) for ~30k journals based on data from Crossref
- delete 187,452 works: deleted Zenodo records. (merge into deleted id: W4285719527)
- clean up author names: remove non-name strings prepended to certain author names; remove non-printing characters and whitespace, delete authors with bad names (only whitespace, only numbers)

Thanks,
Casey
