Usage

jn_aff

Format

An object of class tbl_df (inherits from tbl, data.frame) with 1981677 rows and 6 columns.

Details

Country affiliations were determined using the first author affiliation as listed by OpenAlex. A first author is often considered as lead author(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_author) who has usually undertaken most of the research presented in the article, although author roles can vary across disciplines.

Note that full counting in which every original article or review was counted once per country of affiliation of the first authors was applied. Because first authors can have multiple affiliations from different countries, don't use this dataset, but jn_ind to determine a journal's publication volume.
