When a query is returned by OnePetro inside the web page with the results also comes the dc_type or document type for all the papers that returned from that search.

The type of papers are:

If we want to know what type of papers are available for a particular search we follow these steps:

Create a query

Our search is for the exact words “well test”. How many papers return from that search?

library(petro.One)

my_url <- make_search_url(query = "well test", 
                          how = "all")          # exact match

get_papers_count(my_url)
## [1] 12877

Find the type of papers available

sdc <- papers_by_type(my_url)
sdc
## # A tibble: 7 x 2
##   name             value
##   <chr>            <dbl>
## 1 Chapter              8
## 2 Conference paper 10002
## 3 General            194
## 4 Journal paper     2619
## 5 Media                9
## 6 Other                8
## 7 Presentation        37

We see that the most numerous category is conference papers followed by journal. The total number of papers is about 12877

Variable type of documents

Depending of the words we are searching, the document types that return from the search may not be the same in all cases. For instance, in this case, we don’t get the type for Other or Chapter.

library(petro.One)

my_url <- make_search_url(query = "smart completion", 
                          how = "all")          # exact match

sdc    <- papers_by_type(my_url)
sdc
## # A tibble: 5 x 2
##   name             value
##   <chr>            <dbl>
## 1 Conference paper   404
## 2 General              1
## 3 Journal paper       41
## 4 Media                1
## 5 Presentation         3
