set_JCR: Obtain JCR information

In fcampelo/PPGEECred: PPGEECred - Calculo de credenciamentos para o PPGEE-UFMG

Description

Attribute JCR information to each paper in lattes.list. The journal information available in each entry of lattes.list is matched against the information in JCR.file: first by ISSN and, if no match is found or the ISSN is not informed in lattes.list, by name. Journal names are reduced (removal of all spaces and punctuations) and upper-cased before matching, to reduce the chances of name mismatches.

Usage

set_JCR(lattes.list, JCR.file, min.IF, alias.list)

Arguments

lattes.list	a Lattes list object created using lattes_to_list()
JCR.file	CSV file containing the ranking of journals according to the QUALIS classification system for a certain area. See JCR File for details.

Value

Returns the original lattes.list object updated with JCR information for each paper

JCR File

The JCR file must be a CSV file with commas as separators and UTF-8 encoding. To ensure these properties, follow the steps:

• Obtain the relevant XLS file (e.g., from https://www.researchgate.net/post/New_Impact_factors_2017_for_Journals_are_released_now or directly from the Clarivate Analytics Website (if you have access). It is important to obtain the file containing ALL listed journals.

• Open the file using your reader of choice, remove the headers and footers and copy the relevant information (including column names).

• Open a new spreadsheet on Google Docs, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/

• Paste everything into the Google Docs Spreadsheet

• Download the resulting file as a comma-separated file (File -> Download as -> Comma-separated values (.csv, current sheet))
