In openalexR: Getting Bibliographic Records from 'OpenAlex' Database Using 'DSL' API

Flatten snowball result

Description

Flatten snowball result

Usage

snowball2df(data, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

data	List result from 'oa_snowball'.
verbose	Logical. If TRUE, print information on wrangling process.

Value

Tibble/data.frame of works with additional columns: append 'citing', 'backward_count', 'cited_by', 'forward_count', 'connection', and 'connection_count.' For each work/row, these counts are WITHIN one data search, and so 'forward_count' <= 'cited_by_count'.

Consider the universe of all works linked to a set of starting works, ('oa_input = TRUE') for each work/row i: - citing: works in the universe that i cites - backward_count: number of works in the universe that i cites - cited_by: works that i is cited by - forward_count: number of works in the universe that i is cited by - connection: works in the universe linked to i - connection_count: number of works in the universe linked to i (degree of i)

Examples

## Not run: 
flat_snow <- snowball2df(oa_snowball(
  identifier = "W1516819724",
  verbose = TRUE
))

flat_snow[, c("id", "connection", "connection_count")]

## End(Not run)
