Description

This function calculates prize winner indices based on bibliometric data. The default prize winners are the recipients of the Derek de Solla Price Memorial Medal. Users can provide recipients of other prizes.

Usage

PWI(
  files,
  pw_pattern = "(BOYACK K)|(KLAVANS R)|(BORNMANN L)|(...",
  method = 1,
  verbosity = 1,
  data_source = "wos",
  data_format = "plaintext"
)

Arguments

files

character variable or list of character variables that contain(s) file name(s) of bibliographic data file(s) that are supported by the package bibliometrix

pw_pattern

character variable (optional parameter) that is passed as search pattern to the grep function to identify the prize winners in the data set

method

integer variable (optional parameter) that determines if only the authors in the dataset with number of papers and co-authors is returned or if the prize winner index is calculated 0: return only a list with authors, number of papers, and number of co-authorships 1: calculate the prize winner index and return it alongside with number of papers and number of co-authorships

verbosity

level of verbosity (0=quiet and 1=informative)

data_source

specifies the data source; this parameter is forwarded to the function convert2df from the R package bibliometrix. The default value is "wos"; other possible values are: "isi", "scopus", "dimensions", or "pubmed"

data_format

specifies the data format; this parameter is forwarded to the function convert2df from the R package bibliometrix. The default value is "plaintext"; other possible values are: "api", "bibtex", "endnote", "csv", or "excel"

Details

PWI(files=bibliographic_files, pw_pattern = '(BOYACK K)|(KLAVANS R)|(BORNMANN L)|(BAR-ILAN J)|(BARILAN J)| (WALTMAN L)|(THELWALL M)|(CRONIN B)|(PERSSON O)|(VINKLER P)|(MCCAIN K)|(INGWERSEN P)| (LEYDESDORFF L)|(ROUSSEAU R)|(EGGHE L)|(GLANZEL W)|(GLAENZEL W)|(MOED H)|(IRVINE J)| (MARTIN B)|(GRIFFITH B)|(VAN RAAN A)|(VANRAAN A)|(MERTON R)|(SCHUBERT A)|(BROOKES B)| (NARIN F)|(NALIMOV V)|(BRAUN T)|(MORAVCSIK M)|(GARFIELD E)', method=1, verbosity=1, data_source='wos', data_format='plaintext') Only the argument files is necessary. All other arguments are optional.

Literature:

Value

data frame of researcher names, PWI value, number of papers, and number of co-authors
