## Implemented Methods

### 1. `search_works(query, limit)`
- Searches publications by keywords
- Returns up to `limit` results
- Searches across title, abstract, authors, etc.

### 2. `get_work(doi)`
- Retrieves a specific publication by DOI
- Handles various DOI formats (normalized)
- Returns `Option<SemanticVector>`

### 3. `search_by_funder(funder_id, limit)`
- Finds research funded by specific organizations
- Uses funder DOI (e.g., "10.13039/100000001" for NSF)
- Useful for funding source analysis

### 4. `search_by_subject(subject, limit)`
- Filters publications by subject area
- Enables domain-specific discovery
- Supports free-text subject queries

### 5. `get_citations(doi, limit)`
- Finds papers that cite a specific work
- Enables citation network analysis
- Uses CrossRef's `references:` filter

### 6. `search_recent(query, from_date, limit)`
- Searches publications since a specific date
- Date format: YYYY-MM-DD
- Useful for temporal analysis and trend detection

### 7. `search_by_type(work_type, query, limit)`
- Filters by publication type
- Supported types: journal-article, book-chapter, proceedings-article, dataset, etc.
- Optional query parameter for additional filtering

## Key Features

### Rate Limiting
- Conservative 1 request/second default
- Automatic retry on rate limit errors (429 status)
- Up to 3 retries with exponential backoff
- Respects CrossRef API usage policies

### Polite Pool Support
- Configurable email for better rate limits
- Email included in User-Agent header
- Achieves ~50 requests/second vs ~10 without email
- Good API citizenship

### DOI Normalization
- Handles multiple DOI formats:
  - `10.1038/nature12373`
  - `http://doi.org/10.1038/nature12373`
  - `https://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature12373`
- Automatically strips prefixes

### SemanticVector Conversion
- Automatic conversion to RuVector format
- 384-dimensional embeddings (configurable)
- Rich metadata extraction:
  - DOI, title, abstract
  - Authors, journal, publisher
  - Citation count, references count
  - Subjects, funders
  - Publication type
- Domain: Research
- Timestamp from publication date

### Error Handling
- Network errors with retry
- Rate limiting with backoff
- Graceful handling of missing data
- Comprehensive error types via `FrameworkError`

## Data Structures

### CrossRef API Structures
- `CrossRefResponse` - API response wrapper
- `CrossRefWork` - Publication metadata
- `CrossRefAuthor` - Author information
- `CrossRefDate` - Publication date parsing
- `CrossRefFunder` - Funding organization info

### Output Format
All methods return `Result<Vec<SemanticVector>>` with:
```rust
SemanticVector {
    id: "doi:10.1038/nature12373",
    embedding: Vec<f32>,  // 384-dim by default
    domain: Domain::Research,
    timestamp: DateTime<Utc>,
    metadata: HashMap<String, String> {
        "doi", "title", "abstract", "authors",
        "journal", "citation_count", "references_count",
        "subjects", "funders", "type", "publisher", "source"
    }
}
```

## Testing

### Unit Tests (7 tests)
1. `test_crossref_client_creation` - Client initialization
2. `test_crossref_client_without_email` - Client without polite pool
3. `test_custom_embedding_dim` - Custom embedding dimension
4. `test_normalize_doi` - DOI normalization utility
5. `test_parse_crossref_date` - Date parsing logic
6. `test_format_author_name` - Author name formatting
7. `test_work_to_vector` - Conversion to SemanticVector

### Integration Tests (5 tests, ignored by default)
1. `test_search_works_integration` - Live API search
2. `test_get_work_integration` - Live DOI lookup
3. `test_search_by_funder_integration` - Live funder search

## Integration with RuVector

### Framework Integration
- Exports via `lib.rs` re-exports
- Compatible with `DataSource` trait (can be added if needed)
- Follows `SemanticVector` format for RuVector discovery
- Uses shared `SimpleEmbedder` for text embeddings
- Domain classification: `Domain::Research`

### Compatible Components
- **Coherence Engine**: Can analyze publication networks
- **Discovery Engine**: Pattern detection in research trends
- **Export**: Compatible with DOT, GraphML, CSV export
- **Forecasting**: Temporal analysis of publication trends
- **Visualization**: Citation network visualization

### Multi-Source Discovery
Works alongside:
- `ArxivClient` - Preprints
- `OpenAlexClient` - Academic works
- `PubMedClient` - Medical literature
- `SemanticScholarClient` - CS papers
- Other research data sources

## Usage Examples

### Basic Search
```rust
let client = CrossRefClient::new(Some("email@example.com".to_string()));
let papers = client.search_works("quantum computing", 20).await?;
```

### Citation Analysis
```rust
let seed = client.get_work("10.1038/nature12373").await?;
let citations = client.get_citations("10.1038/nature12373", 50).await?;
```

### Funding Analysis
```rust
let nsf_works = client.search_by_funder("10.13039/100000001", 100).await?;
```

### Trend Analysis
```rust
let recent = client.search_recent("AI", "2024-01-01", 100).await?;
```

## Performance

### Rate Limits
- **Without email**: ~10 requests/second
- **With polite pool**: ~50 requests/second
- **Client default**: 1 request/second (conservative)

### Response Times

- Streaming-friendly architecture
- No caching (can be added if needed)

## Future Enhancements

4. **Author Networks**: Build author collaboration graphs
5. **Publisher Analytics**: Publisher-specific metrics
6. **Full-Text Links**: Extract full-text PDF URLs
