compare_scholar_careers: Compare the careers of multiple scholars

Usage

compare_scholar_careers(ids, career = TRUE)

Arguments

ids

career

a boolean, should a column be added to the results measuring the year relative to the first citation year. Default = TRUE

    ids <- c("B7vSqZsAAAAJ", "qj74uXkAAAAJ")
    df <- compare_scholar_careers(ids)
