We are developing an R package, OpenAlex2Pajek, for creating bibliographic networks from the OpenAlex database. The basic package version supports the collection of data on selected topics. In this contribution, we present an extension, the function OpenAlexSources, that creates a list of works related to a selected journal (all papers published by the chosen journal and all works citing/cited by these papers). Since units (works, authors, sources, keywords, etc.) in networks are identified by their OpenAlex IDs, another function, unitsInfo, provides the user with additional information about the units appearing in the analysis results. We applied the new functions to create bibliographic networks for the journals Advances in Methodology and Statistics / Metodološki zvezki (S4210169332) and Ars Mathematica Contemporanea (S61442588). We present some basic results of their analyses.
