jst_get_journal_overview: Get table with information on journals

Description

Download most recent or display cached version of data on journals.

Usage

jst_get_journal_overview(most_recent = FALSE, quiet = FALSE)

Arguments

most_recent

Should the most recent version be downloaded from DfR? (Currently disabled due to changes on the JSTOR-servers).

quiet

Should status messages about the download be printed?

Value

A tibble with various information about journals.

Details

When analysing your sample of articles from DfR, it might be helpful to have some context about the journals in your sample. This function provides a tibble with various information like the full name of the journal, the short version of the name (sometimes referred to as JCODE), dates on where the first and last (available) issues were published, etc.

The data on journals might change. Therefore this function provides two sources of data: a cached version which gets updated with every release, and the ability to pull the most recent version directly from DfR (this had to be temporarily disabled.)

The cached version was updated on 2020-04-03.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
# use the function without arguments to get a tibble from disk
jst_get_journal_overview()

# }
# NOT RUN {
# download the most recent version from DfR
jst_get_journal_overview(most_recent = TRUE)
# }
