OpenAlex2Pajek -- an R Package for converting OpenAlex bibliographic data into Pajek networks
Abstract
For analysis of bibliographic data, we can obtain from bibliographic databases the corresponding collection of bibliographic networks. Recently OpenAlex, a new open-access bibliographic database, became available. We present OpenAlex2Pajek, an R package for converting OpenAlex data into a collection of Pajek's networks. For an illustration, we created a temporal weighted network describing the co-authorship between world countries for years from 1990 to 2023. We present some analyses of this network.
