biblionetwork: An R Package for Creating Different Types of Bibliometric Networks

The goal of biblionetwork is to provide functions to create bibliometric networks like bibliographic coupling networks, co-citation networks and co-authorship networks. It identifies edges and calculates the weights according to different methods, depending on the type of networks, the type of nodes, and what you want to analyse. These functions are optimized to be used on very large datasets.

The original function, which uses `data.table` (Dowle and Srinivasan 2020) and allows the user to find edges and calculate weights for large networks, was developed by François Claveau. The different functions in this package have been developed, from Claveau’s original idea, by Alexandre Truc and Aurélien Goutsmedt.
