#' Top-Authors' Productivity over Time
#'
#' It calculates and plots the author production (in terms of number of publications) over the time. 
#' @param M is a bibliographic data frame obtained by \code{\link{convert2df}} function.
#' @param k is a integer. It is the number of top authors to analyze and plot. Default is \code{k = 10}.
#' @param graph is logical. If TRUE the function plots the author production over time graph. Default is \code{graph = TRUE}.
#' @return The function \code{authorProdOverTime} returns a list containing two objects:
#' \tabular{lll}{
#' \code{dfAU}  \tab   \tab is a data frame\cr
#' \code{dfpapersAU}\tab    \tab is a data frame\cr
#' \code{graph}   \tab   \tab a ggplot object}
