create_bibliography {Diderot}

Function to create a bibliographic dataset

Description

This function creates a bibliographic dataset based on two external corpus files, each representing the bibliography of a given domain.

Usage

create_bibliography(corpora_files, labels, keywords, retrieve_pubdates = F, 
                    clean_refs = F, encoding = NULL)

Arguments

corpora_files

Vector containing the pathes to two corpus files (e.g. Scopus exports). The CSV files should contain for each record at least Authors (comma separated), Publication Title, Publication Year, and References (semicolon separated). The inclusion of DOI (for date checking; see the retrieve_pubdates option) as well as Abstract, Author.Keywords, and Index.Keywords (for the in-depth identification of publications belonging to both corpora) are strongly recommended.

labels

Labels (i.e. names) given to the two corpora to be analyzed.

keywords

Keywords identifying the two corpora

retrieve_pubdates

Flag indicating whether to confirm publication dates by retrieving them (see get_date_from_doi)

clean_refs

Attempt to clean references and keep titles only. NOT RECOMMENDED, especially if build_graph should be used subsequently.

encoding

Character encoding used in the input files.

Value

Returns a dataframe containing a bibliographic dataset usable by Diderot and including all references from both corpora.
