Introduction to MDPIexploreR

Obtaining list of journals

To retrieve the most current list of MDPI journals, the MDPIexploreR package utilizes the MDPI_journals() function. This function fetches data from the official MDPI journals page at https://www.mdpi.com/about/journals and generates a table containing the names of the journals along with their corresponding codes.

MDPI_journals()|>head(10)
#>                             journal            code
#> 1                         Acoustics       acoustics
#> 2     Acta Microbiologica Hellenica             amh
#> 3                         Actuators       actuators
#> 4           Administrative Sciences          admsci
#> 5                       Adolescents     adolescents
#> 6  Advances in Respiratory Medicine             arm
#> 7                       Aerobiology     aerobiology
#> 8                         Aerospace       aerospace
#> 9                       Agriculture     agriculture
#> 10                  AgriEngineering agriengineering

These journal codes can then be used across the multiple functions of MDPIexploreR.

Article level information

MDPIexploreR makes easy to obtain a list of all articles published in a journal. For example, to get a list of all articles published in the journal “MDPI Covid” we just need to do:

article_find("covid")|>head(5)
#> [1] "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/1/1/1"
#> [2] "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/1/1/2"
#> [3] "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/1/1/3"
#> [4] "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/1/1/4"
#> [5] "https://www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/1/1/5"

Extracting editorial information from an article can be done with:

article_info("https://www.mdpi.com/2673-8112/1/1/4")
#>   |                                                                              |                                                                      |   0%  |                                                                              |======================================================================| 100%
