metaTagExtraction: Meta-Field Tag Extraction

Description

It extracts other field tags, different from the standard WoS/SCOPUS codify.

Usage

metaTagExtraction(M, Field = "CR_AU", sep = ";", aff.disamb = TRUE)

Arguments

M

is a data frame obtained by the converting function convert2df. It is a data matrix with cases corresponding to articles and variables to Field Tag in the original WoS or SCOPUS file.

Field

is a character object. New tag extracted from aggregated data is specified by this string. Field can be equal to one of these tags:

"CR_AU"		First Author of each cited reference
"CR_SO"		Source of each cited reference
"AU_CO"		Country of affiliation for co-authors
"AU1_CO"		Country of affiliation for the first author
"AU_UN"		University of affiliation for each co-author and the corresponding author (AU1_UN)

sep

is the field separator character. This character separates strings in each column of the data frame. The default is sep = ";".

aff.disamb

is a logical. If TRUE and Field="AU_UN", then a disambiguation algorithm is used to identify and match scientific affiliations (univ, research centers, etc.). The default is aff.disamb=TRUE.

Value

the bibliometric data frame with a new column containing data about new field tag indicated in the argument Field.
