special_issue_find

Retrieves all special issues of a specified journal with URLs. Filters results by issue status (open, closed, or all) and optional year range.

Provides comprehensive tools to scrape and analyze data from the MDPI journals. It allows users to extract metrics such as submission-to-acceptance times, article types, and whether articles are part of special issues. The package can also visualize this information through plots. Additionally, 'MDPIexploreR' offers tools to explore patterns of self-citations within articles and provides insights into guest-edited special issues.
