Changes in version 2011.04-2 (2011-04-23) o CITAN now depends on RGtk2. o Case-insensitive ISSN, UniqueId, Language and authors' Names matching in lbsImportDocuments(). o 'verbose' mode in lbsImportDocuments(), Scopus_ImportSources() now displays a dialog window. o lbsCreate() - minor improvements in SQL queries for Local Bibliometric Storage creation. o 'warnDuplicateTitles' param removed from lbsImportDocuments(). o Function name cleanup: dbBiblio* -> lbs* (CHANGELOG updated). New functions: o lbsSearchAuthors() - finds authors meeting given criteria. o lbsSearchDocuments() - finds documents meeting given criteria. o lbsGetInfoAuthors() - retrieves basic information on given authors. o lbsGetInfoDocuments() - retrieves information on given documents. o lbsFindDuplicateTitles() - suggests documents to be deleted (EXPERIMENTAL algorithm implemented). o lbsFindDuplicateAuthors() - suggests authors to be merged (EXPERIMENTAL algorithm implemented). o lbsDeleteDocuments() - deletes given documents. o lbsMergeAuthors() - merges given authors. Changes in version 2011.04-1 (2011-04-09) o CITAN now depends on R (>= 2.10.0), DBI and RSQLite. o Datafiles included: Scopus_ASJC, Scopus_SourceList - information on sources covered by Elsevier SciVerse Scopus bibliometric database and their ASJC classification codes. License information: this data are publicly available and hence no special permission is needed to redistribute them (information from Elsevier). New functions: o sqlTrim(), sqlEscapeTrim(), sqlEscape(), sqlSwitchOrNULL(), sqlStringOrNULL(), sqlNumericOrNULL() prepare data of various types for use in SQL queries. o dbExecQuery() - executes an SQL query and immediately frees all allocated resources. o lbsConnect() - connects to a local bibliometric storage handled by SQLite engine. o lbsCreate() - creates an empty local bibliometric storage. o lbsClear() - clears a local bibliometric storage by dropping all tables named Biblio_* and all views named ViewBiblio_*. o lbsDeleteAllAuthorsDocuments() - deletes are author, document and survey information from a local bibliometric storage. o Scopus_ImportSources() - imports SciVerse Scopus covered titles and their ASJC codes to an empty local bibliometric storage. o Scopus_ReadCSV() - reads bibliography entries from a 40-column CSV file created e.g. with SciVerse Scopus (Complete format). o lbsImportDocuments() - imports publications from a special 14-column data frame to a local bibliometric storage. Such an input may be created e.g. with Scopus_ReadCSV(). o lbsDescriptiveStats() - performs preliminary data analysis of data in a local bibliometric storage by displaying some basic descriptive statistics and plots. o lbsGetCitations() - creates citation sequences for authors in a local bibliometric storage, that is vectors of citation counts of all the documents mapped to selected authors. The results may be restricted to a given Survey or document types. o lbsAssess() - Calculates values of impact functions for a given list given citation sequences. Changes in version 2011.03-2 (2011-03-23) o pareto2.phirsch(), pareto2.dhirsch() - time-optimized versions of phirsch() and dhirsch() for the Pareto-Type II distribution. o pareto2.htest() - time-optimized (e.g. 48.26 vs 2.72 sec. for n=25, 22.44 vs 1.40 sec. for n=10). o pareto2.goftest() - minor bug fix; removed `alternative' parameter as ad.test() does not support it. o pareto2.zsestimate() - minor bug fix; allow shape parameter 00. o Minor bug fixes. Changes in version 2011.02-1 (2011-02-28) o First public release.
