refsplitr News

refsplitr 1.2 (2025-04-25)

NEW FEATURES

• The new default service for georeferencing author institutions is the free Nominatim service, which uses OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and which refsplitr queries via the [tidygeocoder]((https://jessecambon.github.io/tidygeocoder/) package.tidygeocoder. The Google Maps API is still an option, but users should be aware that their georeferencing request may exceed the lower limit of free queries.

• The authors_addresses function has been updated and is now more efficient.

• In plot_net_address: the deprecated function fortify has been replaced with sf_convert

refsplitr 1.0.2 (2024-08-12)

NEW FEATURES

• references_read now extracts additional fields from Web of Science records: WE (Source Database), C3 (all author affiliations, equivalent to the Scopus affiliations field code), EI (eISSN), OA (Open Access), and RID (the original version of the Thomson-Reuters ResearcherID (RI); authors of some older publications might have an RID but not an RI). These are not included in the default output of references_read; to include them use include_all = TRUE.

• references_read no longer extracts some rarely used field codes: GE, LT, MC, MI, and TA

• The following field codes are now returned by default when using references_read: DT (Document Type), ID (Keywords Plus), IS (Issue), JI (ISO abbreviated source code), and NR (number of references cited by the article).
