R help - Jul 2021 - Bibliometix Package Question

Hello,

My name is Adrianna, I am a student researcher at the University Health Network
in Toronto. I am working on a bibliometric analysis and would like to use R. My
search involves five databases: MEDLINE (Ovid), AJOL, EMBASE, African Medicus
Index and Web of Science. We expect to gather thousands of results based on our
search and we have to undergo a cleaning processes to remove duplicates and
exclude any articles that do not fit our inclusion criteria.  Given the codes
for running the bibliometric analysis I am inquiring whether it is possible to
upload a csv or excel file after cleaning the data to then run the analysis?

If you have any other tips, please let me know the help is greatly appreciated.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Thank you again!

Best,

Adrianna Perryman

Hi Adrianna,
I can see why you may be confused about the input file to create the
dataframe for bibliometrix. Looking at the 'convert2db' function, it
seems to shuffle the various formats to a common order used by other
functions. The help page describes that order. I would look at the
sample file 'scientometrics' as it seems to be a plain text file. If
you set up your CSV file in that format, it should be read by the
convert2df function with the default 'plaintext' format argument.
