applyCitationMatching (Deprecated)

Description

Deprecated in bibliometrix 6.0. This function has been renamed to applyReferenceMatching. Please use applyReferenceMatching() instead.

Usage

applyCitationMatching(
  M,
  threshold = 0.9,
  method = "jw",
  min_chars = 20,
  max_block_size = 100,
  use_iso4 = TRUE,
  use_doi = TRUE,
  use_exact = TRUE,
  fuzzy = TRUE,
  use_postproc = TRUE,
  title_guard = FALSE
)

Arguments

`M`	A bibliometrix data frame, typically created by `convert2df`. Must contain the columns: `SR`: Short reference identifier for each document `CR`: Cited references field (citations separated by semicolons) `DB`: (Optional) Database source identifier for format detection
`threshold`	Numeric value between 0 and 1 indicating the similarity threshold for matching citations. Default is 0.90. See `normalize_citations` for details on selecting appropriate thresholds.
`method`	String distance method to use for fuzzy matching. Options include: "jw" (default): Jaro-Winkler distance, optimized for bibliographic strings "lv": Levenshtein distance "osa": Optimal String Alignment distance "lcs": Longest Common Subsequence distance Other methods supported by `stringdistmatrix`
`min_chars`	Minimum characters for valid citations (default: 20).
`max_block_size`	Integer. Blocks with at least this many unique normalized strings skip within-block fuzzy matching and fall back to exact matching only (default: 100). Passed to `normalize_citations`.
`use_iso4`	Logical. Enable ISO 4 / LTWA journal normalization (default `TRUE`).
`use_doi`	Logical. Enable DOI-based exact matching (default `TRUE`).
`use_exact`	Logical. Enable exact normalized-string and punctuation-invariant matching (default `TRUE`).
`fuzzy`	Logical. Enable within-block (WoS deterministic and Scopus fuzzy) matching (default `TRUE`).
`use_postproc`	Logical. Enable Phase 4.5 metadata-based post-processing merge (default `TRUE`). These five logical switches are intended primarily for ablation analyses and are passed through to `normalize_citations`.
`title_guard`	Logical. Enable the optional Phase 4.6 series part-marker cluster purification that splits over-merged multi-part works (default `FALSE`). Passed through to `normalize_citations`.
