This table summarizes all publications, providing some information like first author, journal where it was published, and title as a data.table. It also includes a pubmed url where available under link. Related studies under related_studies, and related studies with data available under studies_with_data. We can use data.table methods to filter and sort this table to browse available publications.

For example, we can filter this table to view only publications related to a particular study:

Downloading Publication Data

DataSpace also includes publication datasets for some publications. The format of this data will vary from publication to publication, and is stored in a zip file. The publication_data_available field specifies publications where publication data is available.

pubs_with_data <- con$availablePublications[publication_data_available == TRUE]

Data for a publication can be accessed through by either passing a publication_id value or an availablePublications object to the downloadPublicationData connection method.

Here, we download data for publication with ID 1461 (Westling, 2020), and view the resulting downloads. Like the get... methods, you may pass the availablePublications object to download publication data listed in that table.

publicationDataFiles <- con$availablePublications[label %like% "Westling 2020"] |>
  con$downloadPublicationData()
basename(publicationDataFiles)
#> [1] "Westling1461_publicationData.zip"

All zip files will include a file format document as a PDF, as well as a README. These documents will give an overview of the remaining contents of the files. In this case, data is separated by CD8+ T-cell responses and CD4+ T-cell responses, as described in the README.txt.
