Summaries of a bibliographic database

summary methods for WoS bibliometric databases.

Usage

# S3 method for class 'wos.db'
summary(object, filter, TC.index = c("H", "G"), nmax = 10, ...)

# S3 method for class 'summary.wos.db'
print(x, ...)

TC.authors(db, idAuthors)

# S3 method for class 'summary.wos.db'
plot(
  x,
  which = 1:5,
  pie = FALSE,
  others = !pie,
  accuracy = 0.1,
  plot = TRUE,
  ask = length(which) > 1 && interactive(),
  ...
)

# S3 method for class 'wos.jcr'
summary(object, filter, all = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for class 'summary.wos.jcr'
print(x, digits = 2, all = TRUE, ...)

# S3 method for class 'summary.wos.jcr'
plot(x, plot = TRUE, all = FALSE, ask = plot && all && interactive(), ...)

Arguments

object: an object for which a summary is desired.
filter: vector of document identifiers (optional, usually a result of get.idDocs).
TC.index: citation indexes.
nmax: number of top levels.
...: further arguments passed to or from other methods.
x: an object used to select a method.
db: Object of class wos.db, as returned by CreateDB.
idAuthors: optional; author identifiers
which: if a subset of the plots is required, specify a subset of the numbers 1:5.
pie: logical; if TRUE, pie charts are drawn.
others: logical; if FALSE, only nmax top levels categories are shown.
accuracy: numerical scalar; see label_number(accuracy=.).
plot: logical; if TRUE (default), the plots are drawn, otherwise only the list of ggplot2 objects is (invisibly) returned.
ask: logical; if TRUE, the user is asked before each plot, see par(ask=.).
all: logical; if TRUE, the corresponding wos.db method is called (additional parameters ... are passed to it), otherwise only results of JCR metrics are returned.
digits: minimal number of significant digits, see print.default.
