8 | | -> March 2025 - We have decided to no longer maintain the Matlab, Mathematica, Bash (except the Z39.50 Bash recipe) and C recipes and have removed them from the Scholarly API Cookbook. These archived recipes are in the [UA Libraries Scholarly API Cookbook Archive](https://github.com/UA-Libraries-Research-Data-Services/Scholarly_API_Cookbook_Archive). |
9 | | -> |
10 | 9 | > November 2024 - Some R code tutorials that were originally MIT Licensed, are now licensed under the GPL-3 License to comply with the licensing terms of dependent R libraries. |

12 | | -The University of Alabama Libraries Scholarly API Cookbook is an open online book containing short scholarly API code examples (i.e., “recipes”) that demonstrate how to work with various scholarly web service APIs. It is part of the University of Alabama Libraries efforts to support Research Data Services. Read the book [here](https://ua-libraries-research-data-services.github.io/UALIB_ScholarlyAPI_Cookbook). |

20 | | -The Bash tutorials are licensed under the MIT License (Bash itself is licensed under the GNU General Public License). Some of the included scripts may rely on external tools such as curl, jq, YAZ, and gnuplot, each of which is licensed under its own terms. Users must obtain and install these tools separately. Refer to the documentation of each tool for installation instructions and licensing details. |
| 19 | +Most of the R tutorial scripts are MIT licensed, but some are licensed under the [GPL-3 License](https://github.com/UA-Libraries-Research-Data-Services/UALIB_ScholarlyAPI_Cookbook/blob/main/LICENSE_selected_R_tutorials) because they depend on GPL-licensed R libraries (refer to the documentation of each R library for installation instructions and licensing details). The R tutorials with GPL-3 licenses are indicated at the top of the respective files and organized separately in the `src/r-gpl3/` folder. |

This tutorial relies on YAZ, which is licensed under its own terms. Users must obtain and install this tool separately.

24 | 23 | We have endeavored to follow the appropriate terms and usage policies of each scholarly API, web service, and Z39.50 server. We have linked to the terms and policies where possible. Some database APIs may require a valid library subscription, institutional access, or individual account to use their services. Please be responsible when reusing these scripts and respect the API terms and usage policies (e.g., query limits, record downloads, data sharing restrictions). Data output snippets shown in this book are for demonstration purposes and are credited to the individual API or database service. The output generated from APIs or services remains subject to the terms and conditions of the respective provider. Some outputs (e.g., U.S. Government works) may be in the public domain, while others may require attribution or adherence to other conditions. |
