ctmaPub

Description

Compute publication and citation scores for studies based on the (team of) authors' publication scores .

Usage

ctmaPub(
  getPubObj = NULL,
  primaryStudyList = NULL,
  yearsToExclude = 0,
  recency = 5,
  targetYear = NULL,
  indFUN = "sum",
  colFUN = "mean",
  addAsMod = FALSE
)

Arguments

getPubObj	publication information compiled with ctmaGetPub
primaryStudyList	vector with numbers of studies (e.g., c(1,3); requires source1 and source3 to be available)
yearsToExclude	years to exclude from publications
recency	years before targetYear that are considered for recency analysis
targetYear	year (default = last year) after which publications are ignored
indFUN	function (default = sum) how publications of each author within a collective (team) are summarized
colFUN	function (default = mean) how publications all authors of collective (team) are summarized
addAsMod	currently disabled. Add to existing moderator objects (or create them) in primaryStudyList, which is part of the returned object

Value

returns NEPP (= the \*number\* of studies published by the authors of the primary studies supplied UNTIL the year when the primary study was published), NEPPRecency (like NEPP, but limited to the number of years before the publication as specified with the recency argument), "Meaning of NEPP" and "Meaning of NEPPRecency" which explain what \*number\* exactly means (e.g., could be the mean of the sum of each author's publication, or the sum of the maximum publications per year of the authors), and "primaryStudyList(full)", which just returns the primaryStudyList supplied).

Examples

pubResults_6 <- ctmaPub(getPubObj=pubList_8,
                        primaryStudyList=CoTiMAstudyList_6)
summary(pubResults_6)
