Tool Information:

  • Name: BioRxiv_get_preprint

  • Type: BioRxivTool

  • Description: Get full metadata for a specific bioRxiv or medRxiv preprint by its DOI. Returns comprehensive metadata including title, authors, abstract, publication date, version, category, corresponding author, funding information, and URLs (HTML, PDF, XML). Response time: <1 second. Use when you have a bioRxiv DOI (format: 10.1101/YYYY.MM.DD.XXXXXX). To SEARCH for preprints by keywords, use EuropePMC_search_articles with ‘SRC:PPR’ filter (fast, relevance-ranked), or web_search with ‘site:biorxiv.org’. bioRxiv API does not support text search.

Parameters:

  • doi (string) (required) bioRxiv or medRxiv DOI. Can be full DOI (e.g., ‘10.1101/2023.12.01.569554’) or just the numeric part after ‘10.1101/’ (e.g., ‘2023.12.01.569554’). Find DOIs using EuropePMC_search_articles, web_search, or from paper citations.

  • server (string) (optional) Server to query: ‘biorxiv’ for bioRxiv preprints or ‘medrxiv’ for medRxiv preprints. Default is ‘biorxiv’.

Example Usage:

query = {
    "name": "BioRxiv_get_preprint",
    "arguments": {
        "doi": "example_value"
    }
}
result = tu.run(query)
