plot_multi_rpys: Plots a multi-RPYS plot

In KleberNeves/CRMilestones: R Interface For Finding Milestones With CRExplorer

Description

The plot shows a matrix where the rows indicate the citing year and columns the cited year. The color indicates the frequency of the cited year for that citing year (i.e. colors are relative to each row). However, to be comparable across citing years, the color indicates the ranking, not the absolute values of the deviations from the median of the 5-years around it.

Usage

plot_multi_rpys(CR_data, cited_year_range = NULL)

Arguments

CR_data	A list containing the bibliometric data frame, as returned by *run_CRE()*
cited_year_range	The range of years to plot. Default is NULL, which the function transforms to "from 1900 to the most recent year in the dataset".

Details

In other words, a simple RPYS analysis is done for each citing year, the de-trended data is calculated (i.e. deviation from the local median) and the de-trended data is then ranked. This is the same procedure followed for identifying milestones.

Value

A ggplot.
