timeslice

Divide a bibliographic data frame into time slice

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.

timeslice function

<dl><dt>M</dt>
<dd>is a bibliographic data frame obtained by the converting function <code>convert2df</code>.
It is a data matrix with cases corresponding to manuscripts and variables to Field Tag in the original SCOPUS and Clarivate Analytics WoS file.</dd>
<dt>breaks</dt>
<dd>is a numeric vector of two or more unique cut points.</dd>
<dt>k</dt>
<dd>is an integer value giving the number of intervals into which the data frame is to be cut. <code>k</code> is used only in case <code>breaks</code> argument is not provided. The default is <code>k = 5</code>.</dd></dl>
