[R] [R-pkgs] scholar 0.1.0 on CRAN

[James Keirstead]

Dear R users,

A new package 'scholar' (version 0.1.0) is now available on CRAN: 
http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/scholar/index.html.

The scholar package provides functions to extract citation data from 
Google Scholar.  In addition to retrieving basic information about a 
single scholar, the package also allows you to compare multiple scholars 
and predict future h-index values based on the method of Acuna et al.  
For example, we can compare the careers of Richard Feynman and Stephen 
Hawking as follows:

    ids <- c('B7vSqZsAAAAJ', 'qj74uXkAAAAJ')
    df <- compare_scholar_careers(ids)
    ggplot(df, aes(x=career_year, y=cites)) + geom_line(aes(linetype=name))

For more information and examples of how to use the package, please see 
https://github.com/jkeirstead/scholar.

Your comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Best wishes,
James
