i tried doing this and my file did not open on R then I exported data on plain text rather than on bibtex and it worked.

[@anishagoyal5247]

Thanks, it helped.

[@GaryEckstein]

Glad it helped 👍

[@alissaht]

when I change the file extension to bib, windows didn't ask me anything. Also, when I highlight the files and right click I didn't get an option to edit!

[@GaryEckstein]

You should be able to open the bib files directly in a text editor.

[@alissaht]

@@GaryEckstein yes they open with notepad. Thank you. do you have any videos on how to combine scopus and web of science bib files and eliminate duplicates?

[@GaryEckstein]

@@alissaht unfortunately not. This is a very time-consuming and error-prone exercise, unfortunately.

Hi Gary, thank you so much for your videos. Do you know if I can use multiple databases (Google Scholar, Web of Science and my school’s library database) in R or VoSViewer?

[@GaryEckstein]

You can, but it is very time consuming. You'd need to convert all exported files into the same schema and format using a text editor such as Notepad.

[@adjeitracey89]

Thank you! It’s quite difficult to do that on Mac. Could you please assist with the steps?

[@atifdai313]

Can we combine the files of Web of Science, Scopus, and some other sources? How can we avoid overlapping (meaning the same article appears in these CSV files)? OR should we do separate analyses from each source of data?
