In bibliometrix: Comprehensive Science Mapping Analysis
match_citations_fast R Documentation
Match local citations for Scopus collections (flat data frame).
Description
A citing paper cites a target paper when ONE of its INDIVIDUAL references
carries the target's first-author surname AND publication year AND (a substring
of) its title. Earlier this matched the target title as a substring of the whole
concatenated CR list, with no author/year guard — which over-counts badly for
short/generic titles: a book chapter titled "INTRODUCTION" matched every
reference list that merely contained the word "introduction" (LCS far above the
true count, even LCS > GCS). Scopus also ships two reference layouts (classic
"...(YEAR) JOURNAL" and the newer "...JOURNAL, ..., (YEAR)"); keying on the
per-reference first author + parenthesised year is robust to both.
Usage
match_citations_fast(M, sep = ";")
Arguments
M
bibliographic data frame (needs SR, AU, PY, TI, CR).
sep
field separator splitting individual references in CR.
Value
data.frame(SR_cited, SR_citing) of confirmed local-citation links.
