In henrikkarlstrom/rpubprofile: Fetch and plot Scopus data on researcher publishing history

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

You can install the development version from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("henrikkarlstrom/rpubprofile")
