cjabradshaw / epsilonindex Goto Github PK

Hi,

I'm trying to use this approach including getting profile data from googlescholar. I'm struggling to follow the code and have run into a few issues:

1. Step four has a different function name to the one defined in the uploaded code 'getProfiledatFunc' vs 'getProfileFunc'
   `iv. Define an input file that the epsilon.index.func will use, e.g.,

example.dat <- getProfiledatFunc(ids, genders)`

2. The package "scholar" is required for the function 'get_profile' defined in the function. It may be worth adding that package to the example code.

3. When addressing the above two, I still get the error: Error in getProfileFunc(ids, genders) : unused argument (genders). When I pass a vector of only ids to the function I get the error Error in gsdata[, 1] : incorrect number of dimensions

That's where my R knowledge ends!

I have a simple 24 row list with the requisite 6 columns uploaded and the data seems to import correctly. When I click on "calculate e-index" it says "An error has occurred. Check your logs or contact the app author for clarification."

Any ideas?
