In massimoaria/bibliometrix: An R-Tool for Comprehensive Science Mapping Analysis

#' Authors' dominance ranking
#'
#' It calculates the authors' dominance ranking from an object of the class '\code{bibliometrix}' as proposed by Kumar & Kumar, 2008.
#' @param results is an object of the class '\code{bibliometrix}' for which the analysis of the authors' dominance ranking is desired.
#' @param k is an integer, used for table formatting (number of authors). Default value is 10.
#' @return The function \code{dominance} returns a data frame with cases corresponding to the first \code{k} most productive authors and variables to typical field of a dominance analysis.
#'
#' the data frame variables are:
#' \tabular{lll}{
#' \code{Author} \tab   \tab Author's name\cr
#' \code{Dominance Factor}  \tab   \tab Dominance Factor (DF = FAA / MAA)\cr
#' \code{Tot Articles}   \tab   \tab N. of Authored Articles (TAA)\cr
#' \code{Single Authored}   \tab   \tab N. of Single-Authored Articles (SAA)\cr
#' \code{Multi Authored}   \tab   \tab N. of Multi-Authored Articles (MAA=TAA-SAA)\cr
#' \code{First Authored} \tab   \tab N. of First Authored Articles (FAA)\cr
#' \code{Rank by Articles}    \tab   \tab Author Ranking by N. of Articles\cr
#' \code{Rank by DF}    \tab   \tab Author Ranking by Dominance Factor}
