1366. sredin seminar: Vladimir Batagelj: Two new functions in the R package OpenAlex2Pajek
Two new functions in the R package OpenAlex2Pajek to support bibliometric analysis of a scientific journal based on OpenAlex data
Vladimir Batagelj
We are developing an R package OpenAlex2Pajek, for creating bibliographic networks from the OpenAlex database. The basic package version supports the collection of data on selected topics. In this seminar, we present an extension (suggested by Daria Maltseva), the function OpenAlexSources, that creates networks related to a selected journal (all papers published by the journal chosen and all works citing/cited by these papers). Since in networks the units (works, authors, sources, keywords, etc.) are identified by their OpenAlex IDs, another function, unitsInfo, provides the user with additional information about the units appearing in the results of analyses.
We applied the new functions to create bibliographic networks for the journals Metodološki zvezki - Advances in Methodology and Statistics and Ars Mathematica Contemporanea. The analyses' results will be presented at the seminar.
PS. Kdor bi rad kaj povedal na naslednjih seminarjih, naj mi sporoči naslov teme in doda kratek povzetek.
