# scimetr 1.2.0 (2026-03-01)

* Changes to prepare the package for its submission to CRAN
  (Defined global variables through `utils::globalVariables()` to avoid check 
  warnings related to dplyr usage, updated documentation, urls, package 
  description, dependencies, ...).

* Consistent naming of functions using the *snake_case* convention

  - `ImportSources.wos()` renamed to `import_wos()`.
  
  - `CreateDB()` renamed to `db_bib()`.

  - `CreateDBJCR()` renamed to `db_jcr()`.

  - `AddDBJCR()` renamed to `add_jcr()`.

  - `get.idXxxx()` functions renamed to `get_id_xxxx()`   
    `idXxxx` arguments renamed to `id_xxxx`.
    
  - `TC.authors()` renamed to `author_metrics()`   
    `TC.index` argument renamed to `index`.


# scimetr 1.1.0 (2025-11-22)

* Added methods for `wos.jcr`-class objects: `plot.wos.jcr()`, `summary.wos.jcr()`,
  `print.summary.wos.jcr()`, `plot.summary.wos.jcr()`, `summary.year.jcr()`,
  `print.summary.year.jcr()`, `plot.summary.year.jcr()`

* Added dataset `dbjcr`.

* Added functions `CreateDBJCR()`, `AddDBJCR()`, `get_jcr()`, `get_jcr_cat()`.

* Added (internal) global variables `.jcr.labels` and `.all.labels`.

* `summary_year()` is now a generic function 
  (with methods for `wos.db` and `wos.jcr` classes).

* Added a return value in plot methods `plot.wos.db()`, `plot.summary.wos.db()`
  and `plot.summary.year.wos()`.
  

# scimetr 1.0.0 (2025-03-21)

* Major internal changes:

  - Changes to the database structure: new variables, tables, and relationships 
    have been added.
    
  - `NA_character_` is used instead of `""` as missing value in string variables.
  
  - New global objects `.wos.labels` and `WosCat` (stored in *R/sysdata.rda*).
  
* New generic function `CreateDB()` (the previous function `CreateDB.wos()` is 
  now method `CreateDB.wos.data()`).
  
* Added arguments `idOI`, `idRI`, `idAffiliations` to `get.idDocs()`.  
  
* Added functions `get.idOI()`, `get.idRI()`, `get.idAffiliations()`.

* New results were added to `summary()` and `summary_year()`.

* A new dataset `wosdf` is included instead of the previous ones.

* Changes in `match_authors()` to speed up computations.
