unjournaldata

This is the repository for Unjournal evaluations, meta-analysis, and meta-science.

Outputs and reports from here are published at https://unjournal.github.io/unjournaldata.

How it works: data and dashboards

A single GitHub Action:

Exports data from Coda to csv files in the /data folder, via code/import-unjournal-data.py.
Creates Shiny apps at https://unjournal.shinyapps.io/DataExplorer/ and https://unjournal.shinyapps.io/uj-dashboard.

This action is automatically run

The Unjournal data website is in the /website folder. It's not created on GitHub, but directly on developer machines.

To add a blog post, create a new folder inside website/posts, and an index.qmd file inside the folder.
Then navigate to the website folder and run quarto publish gh-pages from the command line. This will update the gh-pages branch on GitHub, which will then be reflected on the unjournal.github.io website.
Individual blog posts are frozen, so they won't be updated once they have been created. See here.
Also add and push your blog post, so your source code is visible on GitHub.
See https://quarto.org/docs/websites/website-blog.html and https://quarto.org/docs/publishing/github-pages.html for more details.

The files in the /data folder are imported from Coda:

paper_authors.csv: Lists of authors per paper.
research.csv: evaluated papers.
rsx_evalr_rating.csv: quantitative ratings given by each evaluator for each paper.

There's also some data from other sources:

jql70a.csv: a list of journal quality rankings, maintained by Prof. Anne-Wil Harzing and converted to CSV format. We thank Prof. Harzing for creating this valuable resource.
jql-enriched.csv: the same data, enriched with h-index and citedness information from Openalex, and our own meta-ranking of journals, via code/calibrate-journal-stats.R.
