scimap: Finds research communities

In MaximeRivest/scimeetr: Scientometrics Meet R

Description

scimap is used to find sub-communities of a scimeetr object.

Usage

scimap(scimeetr_data, coupling_by = "bic", community_algorithm = "louvain",
  min_com_size = 30, kw = 1, ti = 1, ab = 1)

Arguments

scimeetr_data	A list of class scimeetr. Objects of class scimeetr are returned by import_wos_files or by scimap itself.
coupling_by	A character vector of length one. Equal to either: 'bic' for bibliographic coupling, 'kec' for keyword coupling, 'tic' for title coupling, 'abc' for abstract coupling, 'joc' for journal coupling, 'auc' for author coupling', 'woc' for word coupling, 'bickec' for a combination of bibliographic coupling and keyword coupling, and 'bickecticjoc' for a combination of bic, kec, tic, joc (this might be the better way for most use but it is a bit slow, this is why it is not the default choice).
community_algorithm	A character vector of length one. 'louvain', 'fast greedy'...

Value

scimeetr_data. A scimeetr object.

Examples

# Here we see that scimeetr_list contains no sub-communities
summary(scimeetr_list)
sci <- scimap(scimeetr_list, coupling_by = 'bickec')
# After applying scimap() to scimeetr_list. The resulting variable (sci)
# contains sub-communities
summary(sci)
