authorProdOverTime

It calculates and plots the author production (in terms of number of publications) over the time.

Tool for quantitative research in scientometrics and bibliometrics.
It implements the comprehensive workflow for science mapping analysis proposed in Aria M. and
Cuccurullo C. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2017.08.007>.
'bibliometrix' provides various routines for importing bibliographic data from 'SCOPUS',
'Clarivate Analytics Web of Science' (<https://www.webofknowledge.com/>), 'Digital Science Dimensions'
(<https://www.dimensions.ai/>), 'OpenAlex' (<https://openalex.org/>), 'Cochrane Library' (<https://www.cochranelibrary.com/>), 'Lens' (<https://lens.org>),
and 'PubMed' (<https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/>) databases, performing bibliometric analysis
and building networks for co-citation, coupling, scientific collaboration and co-word analysis.
