Crossref Works Dump - January 2018

An effort by eLife Sciences to make citation data more accessible.http://elifesciences.org/This dump provides the raw Crossref works JSON responses as a bulk dump, downloaded in January 2018.It was created by retrieving the works from Crossref API http://api.crossref.org/works (using a 1000 rows per page and a cursor).The source code that produced the file can be found here:https://github.com/elifesciences/datacapsule-crossrefThe output, a 32 GB zip file (using LZMA encryption), was split into separate parts using:zip crossref-works.zip --out chunks/crossref-works.zip -s 2gThey can be combined together using:zip crossref-works.zip --out crossref-works-full.zip -s 0(or use `cat` on Linux or `copy /b` on Windows to concatenate the parts)To then uncompress the file you will need a tool that can handle LZMA (Python 3's zipfile can for example, so can 7zip).The aforementioned project (datacapsule-crossref) also includes code that extracts information from JSON responses included in the zip.
