Convert new Scopus citation format to classic format
Description
Scopus has introduced a new citation format where the publication year appears
at the end in parentheses instead of after the title. This function converts
citations from the new format to the classic format by moving the year from
the end to after the title.
Usage
convert_scopus_new_to_classic(citation)
Arguments
citation
Character string containing a bibliographic citation
Details
New Scopus format: AUTHOR, TITLE, JOURNAL, VOLUME, ISSUE, PAGES, (YEAR)
Classic Scopus format: AUTHOR, TITLE (YEAR) JOURNAL, VOLUME, PAGES
The function uses a robust approach:
Extracts year from end (YYYY)
Extracts first author from beginning
Extracts pages (PP. xxx-xxx or PP. xxx)
Extracts volume and issue numbers
Extracts journal name (text before volume/issue/pages)
Deduces title as remaining text after author
Value
Character string with citation in classic Scopus format
