A program to export large amounts of metadata from Web of Science.
This program depends on several things that are not in this repository:
- Go compiler (and Go libraries) (those are not needed if you download the binary release)
- Google Chrome (https://www.google.com/chrome/)
- Chromedriver (http://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads)
git clone https://github.com/x0wllaar/WoSgetter
cd WoSgetter
go get .
go build -o wosgetter.exe .
These commands will download the code, all the necessary Go libraries and build the executable. You will still have to download Chrome and the Chromedriver binary.
> .\wosgetter.exe -h
Usage of wosgetter.exe:
-chrome string
Path to Chrome(ium) binary (default "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Google\\Chrome\\Application\\chrome.exe")
-driver string
Path to Chromedriver binary (default "./chromedriver")
-filen int
File number to start with (default 1)
-from int
What record to start from (default 1)
-o string
Where to save the reports (default ".")
-to int
What record to end with
- Install Google Chrome (or Chromium) and download the Chromedriver binary.
- Start the program with the relevant command line flags.
- A Chrome window will open.
- In this window, navigate to the WoS page with the relevant results
- In the command line window, press Enter to start the download
The steps are exactly the same, but you will need to use the filen
, from
and to
command line flags
