Tips and tricks
  • Springer provides end dates for every title on their lists. It is GOKb's practice to use open-ended coverages dates when access is current. To resolve this, filter in refine on anything that has an end date in the current year, and delete the end dates for these titles.

TransformationNotes
Rename KBART columns to GOKb columns

This code renames all columns in a KBART file to GOKb equivalents except

  • first_author - there is no current GOKb equivalent to this KBART field
  • title_id - this can contain a variety of information and so there is no direct mapping to a GOKb equivalent field.
    • publisher_name - this often contains organization names that GOKb would consider imprints.
