ReadForAnalysisfromTotal: Read the dataset/NARCIS-dump stored locally

In EmilBode/NARCISOAFunc: A Collection of Helper Functions Used when Working with NARCIS, Unpaywall and Open Access Monitoring

Description

Assumed is that "OAI Harvest New Records.R" has been run, and results are stored on disk

Usage

ReadForAnalysisfromTotal(Summarize = FALSE, FilePath = "Auto",
  set = "auto", ForceReload = FALSE, verbose = TRUE, DropCols = NULL,
  KeepCols = NULL, KeepSets = NULL, KeepMulti = NULL,
  assignTo = .GlobalEnv)

Arguments

Summarize	Should the entire dataset be loaded, or just the summary. Can be FALSE, TRUE or 'Only'. In the last case, the script looks if there is a summarizing file, and loads that if there is one. Otherwise, one is created. If TRUE, the entire set is also loaded and stored (assigned to assignTo-environment), but nothing is done with any present summaryfile. To update the summaryfile, simply remove it, and run this function again with Summarize=='Only'
FilePath	Link to file, or 'Auto'. If Summarize=='Only', provide link to summary file.
set	Which set to open. Can be 'dc', 'auto', or 'didlmods'. Auto opens the last stored set. Note that at current implementation, opening didlmods is of little use, the mongo-db-access is more useful. Also note that as of june 2018, OAI Harvest New Records.R does not store a totalfile for didlmods, so 'auto' defaults to dc.
ForceReload	Should the file always be reloaded? If FALSE, script first looks if a variable called 'Total' exists in the global environment, and reuses that if it does, which saves loading time.
verbose	Emit status messages?
DropCols, KeepCols	Columns to drop or keep form the totalSet. If both are defined, DropCols is ignored
KeepSets	Select to use only certain sets.
KeepMulti	Additional selection criteria, in the form of a named list with allowed values. E.g. list(Type==c('Article', 'Doctoral thesis'))
assignTo	As a side-effect, the "total" data.frame and Paths variable are stored. Where should they be stored?

Value

If Summarize==TRUE or Summarize=='Only' a data.frame with counts. If Summarize==FALSE, invisible 0. Side-effects: Assignment of 'Total' to the global environment, along with modification of 'Paths' global environment if it exists: The slots loadedWerkset and loadedWerkSummary are adapted if they are used. Be careful that loadedWerkset is not updated if Summarize=='Only', and loadedWerkSummary is not updated of Summarize==FALSE.
