🔎 rscopus_plus

An extension of the rscopus package

The rscopus_plus functions (Bernabeu, 2024) extend the R package rscopus (Muschelli, 2022) to administer the search quota and to enable specific searches and comparisons. An example of use is available here.

  • scopus_search_plus runs rscopus::scopus_search as many times as necessary based on the number of results and the search quota.

  • scopus_search_DOIs gets DOIs from scopus_search_plus, which can then be imported into a reference manager, such as Zotero, to create a list of references.

  • scopus_search_additional_DOIs searches for additional DOIs.

  • scopus_comparison compares counts of publications on various topics throughout a certain period. The comparison terms are shown in the legend and in the lines, and they all include the reference query.

  • plot_scopus_comparison draws a line plot with the output from scopus_comparison.

    plot_L2_L3_EF

Note. Before using any of the first four functions, the user must set their Scopus API key confidentially (see rscopus guidelines).
