Attributes

pp
data	Dictionary containing the record data

add_field_provenance(*, key, source, note='')

Add a field provenance, including source and note (based on a key)

Return type:

None

add_field_provenance_note(*, key, note)

Add a field provenance note (based on a key)

Return type:

None

add_provenance_all(*, source)

Add a data provenance (source) to all fields

Return type:

None

align_provenance()

Remove unnecessary provenance information and add missing provenance information

Return type:

None

change_entrytype(new_entrytype, *, qm)

Change the ENTRYTYPE

Return type:

None

complete_provenance(*, source_info)

Complete provenance information for indexing

Return type:

bool

copy_prep_rec()

Copy the record object (as a PrepRecord)

Return type:

PrepRecord

data

Dictionary containing the record data

defects(key)

Get a list of defects for a field

Return type:

List[str]

format_bib_style()

Simple formatter for bibliography-style output

Return type:

str

get_citation_format()

Get the record as a citation

Return type:

str

get_colrev_id(*, assume_complete=False)

Returns the colrev_id of the Record.

Return type:

str

classmethod get_colrev_pdf_id(pdf_path)

Generate the colrev_pdf_id

Return type:

str

get_container_title(*, na_string='NA')

Get the record’s container title (journal name, booktitle, etc.)

Return type:

str

get_data()

Get the record data

Return type:

dict

get_diff(other_record, *, identifying_fields_only=True)

Get diff between record objects

Return type:

list

get_field_provenance(*, key, default_source='ORIGINAL')

Get the provenance for a selected field (key)

Return type:

dict

get_field_provenance_notes(key)

Get field provenance notes based on a key

Return type:

list

get_field_provenance_source(key)

classmethod get_record_change_score(record_a, record_b)

Determine how much records changed

This method is less sensitive than get_record_similarity, especially when fields are missing. For example, if the journal field is missing in both records, get_similarity will return a value > 1.0. The get_record_changes will return 0.0 (if all other fields are equal).
