Preparations for CRAN
self_cite() now returns a data frame and displays an
error message when references cannot be found.
Verbosity options (hide messages and progress bars) included for
article_info(), guest_editor_info() and
special_issue_find()
New function plot_articles() replaces functions
average_graph(), summary_graph() and
type_graph()
New function selfcite_check returns number of articles
in referenced published by authors vs total number of references
Updated functions documentation
Fixed clean_names() bug missing single name authors
after removing title.
guest_editor_info() now allows to limit the targeted
years
guest_editor_info() now outputs number of papers where
the guest editor has also a role as academic editor
Added internal function clean_names() to homogenize
editors and authors names to the same standard for comparison reason.
clean_names() incorporated to
guest_editor_info() for name cleaning purposes, replacing
previous code with similar purpose on
guest_editor_info()
Fixed bug ignoring guest editor without profile link on
guest_editor_info()
Fixed code interpreting time of last submission on
guest_editor_info()
Fixed and error generating duplicated guest editors in column
rt_sum_vector2 generated by guest_editor_info()
guest_editor_info() now outputs a guest editor paper
count for each special issue
clean_names() no longer replaces “dr” string inside
names
special_issue_info() allows now to target years of interest
via year=c(…)
guest_editor() no longer part of
MDPIexploreR. Use special_issue_find() and
guest_editor_info() instead
Cleared errors and warnings for R CMD check
articles_info() replaced by
article_info().
article_info() transform editorial data to lowercase to
facilitate the use of gsub()
Adding functions special_issue_find() &
guest_editor_info() to deprecate
guest_editor() and make the workflow more flexible.
guest_editor() now selects two first words of guest
editors and authors names for comparison to account for discrepancies in
number of surnames between guest editors and paper authors. (e.g. guest
editor name = Dr. Perico Palotes Fernández, but author name is
just Perico Palotes. ).
guest_editor() d_over_deadline output column
now considers latest article submission date to a special issue instead
of latest acceptance time.
guest_editor() Assoc. Prof. guest editors are now picked
by the function too
guest_editor() Ignores papers of type “Editorial”
Repurposed R scripts into first version of ‘MDPIexploreR’ as a package
