rpubprofile

The goal of rpubprofile is to use the Scopus API to fetch publication and citation data based on a researcher's Scopus ID and create two plots that summarise a researcher's publishing history in terms of number of publications over time, citations received and most common subject areas. It requires a subscription to Scopus (authentication is IP-based) and the passing of valid Scopus API key to the data fetching function.

Installation
