README.md

Implementation and analysis of the EigenFactor-adjusted H-Index.

The EigenFactor metric evaluates the quality of journals based on their influence and impact. The implementation includes:

  • Data extraction from the Alexandria3k tool.
  • Calculation of the EigenFactor-adjusted H-Index for top authors.
  • Analysis of citation practices and patterns based on the EigenFactor ranking.
  • Comparison of top authors publishing in lower-tier journals with random authors publishing in top-tier journals.

Requirements

For this project, we will use the following libraries: - alexandria3k for data extraction. - rdbunit for database unit testing.

And more common datatools like pandas, numpy, matplotlib, and seaborn.

Exact requirements can be found in the requirements.txt file.

Instructions

Prerequisites

Files needed externally for the project:

  • get_citation_network.txt: This file is needed to get the citation network from the Alexandria3k tool. It is a copy of the original file, which is not included in this repository. You can find the necessary tables for it's generation in the citation_network_(if) folder.
  • get_issn_subject: This file is needed to get the ISSN and subject of the journals from the Alexandria3k tool. It is a copy of the original file, which is not included in this repository. In order to get the ISSN and subject of the journals, you need to run a SQL query on the Alexandria3k database on the Crossref 2023 database.

Install Crossref 202X

Install at the desired path with the following command:

bash aria2c http://dx.doi.org/XXX/XXX &&

Then for convenience, rename the directory:

bash mv 'April 2024 Public Data File from Crossref' Crossref-April-2024

Populate Database

Now we can populate the database with the Crossref data. In our folder we can now run the following command:

bash make populate

Warning: This will take a while, as it will download the entire Crossref database and populate the database with it.

Additional Note: According to the year of the Crossref data, the database will be populated with the data from the year 202X. The years set in the Makefile and can be changed if needed.

Structure

The project is structured as follows:

Data Processing
