Create a CSV list of all coauthors starting from a given year using data from the iNSPIRE-HEP database.

usage: coauthors.py [-h] -b BAI [--format {DOE,NSF}] [--since SINCE]
                    [-o OUTPUT]
                    [keys ...]
positional arguments:
  keys                  only consider these keys
optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b BAI, --bai BAI     author identification string (required)
  --format {DOE,NSF}    output format (defaults to NSF)
  --since SINCE         if specified lists coauthors since the given year
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        output file (if not specified outputs to stdout)

The author identification string is the unique ID associated with you on iNSPIRE-HEP. For example, mine is "D.Radice.1". I would recommended linking iNSPIRE-HEP and ORCiD and synching all papers prior to running the script.

The primarily use of this script is to create/update lists of coauthors that can be included in the NSF Collaborators and Other Affiliations (COA) Information form. While the output of this script can in most cases be copied and pasted directly into the COA form, it is advisable to manually verify each entries. You are ultimately responsible for the validity of the content of your submission to NSF.
