as_bibliometrix: Convert records to a bibliometrix-compatible data frame

In scopusflow: A Reproducible Workflow Layer for 'Scopus' Bibliographic Searches

Convert records to a bibliometrix-compatible data frame

Description

Re-maps a scopus_records tibble to the tagged column layout used by the bibliometrix package (and the wider ISI/Web of Science convention), so results can flow into downstream science-mapping workflows.

Usage

as_bibliometrix(x)

Arguments

x	A scopus_records tibble.

Details

This produces the shape bibliometrix expects from the core descriptive fields. It reconstructs only what the 'Scopus' Search API returns, so richer fields that some bibliometrix analyses use, such as full author affiliations or cited references, are left out. To obtain those, export a full 'Scopus' CSV or BibTeX file from the web interface and read it with bibliometrix::convert2df().

Value

A data frame (classed bibliometrixDB) with the standard tag columns AU (authors), TI (title), SO (source or publication), DI (DOI), PY (publication year), TC (times cited), UT (record id) and DB ("SCOPUS"). Character tag fields are upper-cased to match the bibliometrix convention.

Examples

recs <- scopus_records(list(entry = list(
  list(`dc:identifier` = "SCOPUS_ID:1", `prism:doi` = "10.1/a",
       `dc:title` = "A study", `dc:creator` = "Doe J.",
       `prism:publicationName` = "Journal", `prism:coverDate` = "2020-01-01",
       `citedby-count` = "3")
)))
