Analysis/visualisation of ACEMS bibliometrics data

[jesse-jesse]

Data could come from Clarivate, or google scholar.

@pridiltal has written some code for graphing google scholar data for academics in our department. We could easily adapt it to cover ACEMS members instead. All that is really required is a list of google scholar profile URLs for ACEMS members.

Hi @jesse-jesse , I would like to join with this project. Have you already got a database for ACEMS members. If not we can on this.

[jesse-jesse]

Hi @pridiltal , I can download all the acems members. Is orchard ID best to use?

[robjhyndman]

Unfortunately orcid does not link with google scholar ids. We can either use orcid with scopus (R packages rorcid and rscopus), or we can use google scholar (R package gcite). Dilini's work so far has been to use google scholar because has much better citation coverage than scopus (but also overcounts due to some duplicate entries).

I would prefer to use google scholar ids for this task. For example, mine is vamErfkAAAAJ. So my google scholar profile page is https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=vamErfkAAAAJ.

The simplest way to find these is to search for each person at https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=search_authors

I'm sure we could do something similar with orcid/scopus, but I have not played with those packages.

I'm happy to work with the google scholar IDs. We'll just have a little bit of work to get all the IDs together.

[jesse-jesse]

What is the best way to organise the data? A csv file with names, institution and google scholar ids?

[pridiltal]

Hi @jesse-jesse It will be also useful to have their role for the analysis

[jesse-jesse]

Hi @pridiltal , do you mean if they are a PhD student, masters student, professors, postdoc etc?

[jesse-jesse]

Hi @pridiltal , I've completed all the google scholar handles that exist. What is the best way to get he data to you? Do you want to download the google drive spreadsheet? Or maybe in a repo so that if it is updated it is pulled from a central location?

[robjhyndman]

I suggest we use the Google sheet as the primary data source, and use the googlesheets package to grab it when we need it.

[jesse-jesse]

Perfect. I'll keep working on the ORCID and other IDs. in the sheet 'na' refers to any non-academic user and the 'not-found' is pretty self explanatory
