Description

characterize_jo calculates several journal bibliometrics from a scimeetr object. The results are returned in a list of data frame. The metrics in the table are: number of citations, H-index, impact factor, number of different papers that were cited by papers in the scimeetr dataframe, number of papers that are within the community. _rel, _rank and _relevance at the end of a column name refers to the fact that the relativem the rank change or the relevance of the journal were calculated based on the metrics that matches the start of the column name.

# Example with an object of class scimeetr (see import_wos_files() or 
# import_scopus_files()) already in the workspace
journals <- characterize_jo(scimeetr_list)
# Since this example shows how to load WOS from your system we need to run 
# the following line to find the path to the exemple file
fpath <- system.file("extdata", package="scimeetr") 
fpath <- paste(fpath, "/wos_folder/", sep = "") 
# Then we can run the actual example
example_scimeetr_object <- import_wos_files(files_directory = fpath)
characterize_jo(example_scimeetr_object)
