I would like to export several search result lists from different databases (ProQuest, Scopus, WoS, Ebsco) and use them for a bibliographic analysis. In this context, I would also like to do the citation analysis or coupling. Unfortunately, this information is lost via a reference manager such as Zotero or Endnote. Are there other ways of importing migrated data from the databases mentioned?
Yes, you can export search results from ProQuest and merge them with searches from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS) in VOS Viewer or Bibliometrix.
This is how you can do it; first,
Exporting from ProQuest:
After conducting your search on ProQuest, look for an option to export the search results. ProQuest typically allows you to export citations in various formats such as BibTeX, RIS, or plain text. Choose a format compatible with VOS Viewer or Bibliometrix.
Exporting from Scopus and WoS:
Similarly, conduct your searches on Scopus and WoS and export the search results. Both Scopus and WoS provide options to export citations in formats like BibTeX, RIS, or CSV.Merging in VOS Viewer or Bibliometrix: Once you have exported the search results from all three databases, you can merge them in VOS Viewer or Bibliometrix. These tools typically allow you to import citations from various file formats. Follow the instructions provided by the respective software to import the exported files.
Analyzing the Merged Dataset:
After merging the search results, you can analyze the dataset using VOS Viewer or Bibliometrix to visualize and analyze bibliometric data, such as co-authorship networks, citation networks, keyword co-occurrence, and more.
However, by combining search results from ProQuest, Scopus, and WoS, you can create a comprehensive dataset for bibliometric analysis, enabling you to gain insights into research trends, collaborations, and impact across different scholarly domains.
I wish you Goodluck
