ScienceDirect: SubjectClassifications API

[nils-herrmann]

This API works exactly the same as the one of Scopus. To avoid code redundancy and increase maintainability this class simply inherits the one from Scopus

But it does return different data, does it?

@Michael-E-Rose:

Yes it returns different data (with the same structure). Here is an example:

scopus_sc = SubjectClassifications({'description': 'Chemistry'}, refresh=True)
scdir_sc = ScDirSubjectClassifications({'description': 'Chemistry'}, refresh=True)

Scopus

[Subject(code='1300', description='Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology', detail='Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (all)', abbrev='BIOC'),
Subject(code='1301', description='Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology', detail='Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (miscellaneous)', abbrev='BIOC'), ...}

ScienceDirect Results

[Subject(code='18', description='Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology', detail='Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology', abbrev='biochemgenmolbiol'),
Subject(code='399', description='Biochemistry', detail='Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology::Biochemistry', abbrev='biochem'), ...]

If the api is passed as a parameter, it is not needed as underscore property. If it is needed elsewhere, it can stay underscore property but need not be passed as parameter.

So, is it used somewhere else? If not, let's just make pass a simple parameter.
