 ### Overview
 
-This repository is a [research compendium](https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.3192v2) providing a dataset about corresponding author country affiliations indexed in the Web of Science 2014 - 2018. A research compendium contains data, code, and text associated with it. The R Markdown files in the [`analysis/`](analysis/) directory provide details about the data analysis, particularly about how the Web of Science in-house database from the [German Competence Center for Bibliometrics](http://www.bibliometrie.info/) was interfaced, and the [*Data Descriptive*](analysis/paper.md). The [`data/`](data/) directory contains all aggregated data. Because of the proprietary nature of the Web of Science, no raw data and no access to the in-house database can be shared.
