hello Mr Gary.
I love this tutorial, your video is very helpful and useful. If you don't mind, could you make a video about a bibliometrix analysis tutorial using biblioshiny with the Scopus database? Thanks a lot😇

Important Warning: Bibliometrix may have data issues, especially with missing data such as "authors," during bibliometric analysis. After downloading the Excel data exported from Bibliometrix, it was found that the "AU" column, representing authors, is incomplete. For example, a prolific author shows a total of 13 publications in WOS, but Bibliometrix displays only 10 publications, with three missing. Upon manually checking the exported Excel file, it was discovered that three publications were completely absent from the "AU" column. Upon revisiting the original Bib files, no issues were found, indicating a problem with Bibliometrix's own conversion process. For instance, in the case of the publication with DOI 10.1007/s00261-018-1667-0, which lists a total of seven authors, Bibliometrix and its exported Excel file only show five authors.

So how to fix it? Or are there other programs to use?

[@noOne-nf6ck]

thank you

[@GaryEckstein]

No problem 👍

[@chengyang4187]

At the same time, there is also an issue of arbitrarily combining the surnames and given names of Chinese, Korean, and other Asian authors, leading to an inflated number of publications by Asian authors in the author column of the dataset. For example, publications by authors named Cheng Yang, Cheng Yan, and Cheng Yu may all be merged into publications credited to "Cheng Y," causing data distortion.

[@DrTauqeer]

so how to solve this issue?

[@GaryEckstein]

Please contact Bibliometrix directly regarding this issue

[@husamaljawhar4800]

Hi Gary, many thanks for your video, it was really very useful. I have a question: in your video, you explain how to insert the data from WoS. In my case, I have data from both Scopus and WoS. How can I combine them, remove duplicates, and use Shiny to analyze the data, as you explained?

[@GaryEckstein]

Hi Hasan, there is no simple means to use files from both Scopus and WoS ☹️

[@elisej9883]

Hi! thanks for the tutorial! just wondering: what is the difference between bibliometrix/biblioshiney and vos viewer? At first glance they look rather similar to me.

[@GaryEckstein]

VosViewer specialises in clustering whereas Bibliometrix has a broader range of applications. Both are used in Bibliometric analysis.

[@joserobertoherreracantoran3147]

Dear Gary Eckstein, congratulations on the excellent class and thank you.
I had a question about the list of synonyms.
Did you get the two lines of the file with the list of synonyms to be read?
For me it only loads the first line. The Biblioshiny/Bibliometrix system only reads the first line.
Isn't it necessary to separate the lines with return separator?

[@GaryEckstein]

Yes, different groups of synonyms need to be on separate lines (return). I'll try to make an instructional video soon.

[@joserobertoherreracantoran3147]

@@GaryEckstein Thank you for the answer. Here it is loading only the first line.

[@amberjena93]

is there a good software to get centrality measures?

[@adjeitracey89]

Hi Gary
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I exported 100+ documents from Web of Science to Bibliometrix, but it only shows 50. Could you please help with this? Is there something I’m not doing right?

[@GaryEckstein]

I haven't seen this before except where there are duplicates in the file exported from an academic database.

[@nadihazaki8716]

hi, I have problem importing bib.text in biblioshiny, it says: arguments imply differing number of rows: 0, 10 how do i fix this?

[@GaryEckstein]

This typically happens when you've exported from one database and specify a different database when importing into Bibliometrix
