Obtaining list of journals

To retrieve the most current list of MDPI journals, the MDPIexploreR package utilizes the MDPI_journals() function. This function fetches data from the official MDPI journals page at https://www.mdpi.com/about/journals and generates a table containing the names of the journals along with their corresponding codes.

MDPI_journals()|>head(10)

These journal codes can then be used across the multiple functions of MDPIexploreR.

Article level information

MDPIexploreR makes easy to obtain a list of all articles published in a journal. For example, to get a list of all articles published in the journal "MDPI Covid" we just need to do:

article_find("covid")|>head(5)

Extracting editorial information from an article can be done with:

article_info("https://www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/1/1/4")
