Functioning

sosia performs a series of queries in the Scopus database using the pybliometrics package. After configuring your local pybliometrics (providing access credentials and eventually setting cache directories), you can use sosia:

>>> import sosia
>>>
>>> sosia.get_field_source_information()  # Necessary only once
>>> sosia.make_database()  # Necessary only once
>>>
>>> stefano = sosia.Original(55208373700, 2019)  # Scopus ID and year
>>> stefano.define_search_sources()  # Sources similiar to scientist
>>> stefano.define_search_group()  # Authors publishing in similar sources
>>> stefano.find_matches()  # Find matches satisfying all criteria
>>> print(stefano.matches)
>>> [55320703900, 55817553500, 56113324000, 56276429200]
>>> stefano.inform_matches()  # Optional step to provide additional information
>>> print(stefano.matches[0])
Match(ID=55320703900, name='Arts, Sam', first_name='Sam', surname='Arts',
      first_year=2012, num_coauthors=9, num_publications=8, num_citations=74,
      num_coauthors_period=None, num_publications_period=None, num_citations_period=None, subjects=['BUSI', 'ECON', 'DECI'],
      affiliation_country='Belgium', affiliation_id='60025063',
