谷歌學術是目前感覺最好的學術搜索引擎，谷歌學術檔案提供了學者的個人學術信息，不過通常情況我們無法查看和使用這個信息。Y 叔寫的 scholar 包雖然提供了齊全的功能，但由於網絡限制在國內基本無法使用。
如果我想要簡單地獲取和展示我的個人學術信息，這時候該怎麼辦？
通過搜索，我發現有人提供了一個用 php 寫的訪問接口，該接口可以根據谷歌學術 id 返回一段 json 格式的谷歌學術數據，包括引用數和出版物。數據雖然簡單，但已經足夠我的使用了。我進一步找到了對應的 GitHub 項目 地址，與 Openbiox 的劍鋒交流後在 Hiplot 項目上也部署了一個相同的接口，方便調用。
受 scholar 包啓發，我創建了一個名爲 tinyscholar 的 R 包，用於解析數據和提供表格/圖形可視化。
安裝
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ShixiangWang/tinyscholar")
# devtools::install_git("https://gitee.com/ShixiangWang/tinyscholar")
使用
類似 scholar 包，這裏對 Richard Feynman 進行簡單展示。
