Codes and Datasets for: 'The Largest Academic Publishers of Scholarly Journals: A Webscraping Approach'

This set comprises:

• "count_publishers*": four R codes ("count_publishers*") that draw from DOAJ, Publons, Scopus and SherpaRomeo to extract scholarly publishers and the journal counts assigned to each publisher;
• "data*": two underlying data samples (from DOAJ and Scopus) - the two other samples are accessed via webscraping;
• "harmonize*": one text-file and one R-code for harmonizing publisher names;
• "alljournals.xlsx": the resulting list of scholarly publishers ordered by the highest number of journal counts assigned to them.
