Overview

About

Maintained by Christian VincenotCRAN page ↗

Enables the user to build a citation network/graph from bibliographic data and, based on modularity and heterocitation metrics, assess the degree of awareness/cross-fertilization between two corpora/communities. This toolset is optimized for Scopus data.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/Diderot/Diderot_0.13.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "Diderot_0.13.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.13) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
