The new default service for georeferencing author institutions is the free
Nominatim service, which uses OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and
which refsplitr queries via the [tidygeocoder]((https://jessecambon.github.io/tidygeocoder/)
package.tidygeocoder.
The Google Maps API is still an option, but users should be aware that their
georeferencing request may exceed the lower limit of free queries.
The authors_addresses function has been updated and is now more efficient.
In plot_net_address: the deprecated function fortify has been replaced
with sf_convert
references_read now extracts additional fields from Web of Science
records: WE (Source Database), C3 (all author affiliations, equivalent to the
Scopus affiliations field code), EI (eISSN), OA (Open Access), and RID
(the original version of the Thomson-Reuters ResearcherID (RI); authors of
some older publications might have an RID but not an RI). These are not
included in the default output of references_read; to include
them use include_all = TRUE.
references_read no longer extracts some rarely used field codes:
GE, LT, MC, MI, and TA
The following field codes are now returned by default when using
references_read: DT (Document Type), ID (Keywords Plus), IS (Issue),
JI (ISO abbreviated source code), and NR (number of references cited
by the article).
plot_net_country() now includes a list of any authors that have
a lat-lon but no country (called with products$fixable_countries).Users can
correct these and re-run the visualization to include them in the graph.
