This guide outlines the process for preparing and saving data from downloaded datasets in Web of Science and Scopus for analysis in BibExcel. It provides step-by-step instructions for saving data as plain text files, organizing large datasets, and converting them into formats compatible with BibExcel analysis. Key steps include renaming files for record organization, using specific features in BibExcel to append files and replace line feeds, and converting data to the necessary file formats for analysis. Follow these instructions to streamline your research data preparation.

Preparing data from downloaded datasets In Web of Science, save data using “Save to a Plain text”. If more than 500 records I suggest you name the files 1-500.txt, 501-1000.txt etc. In Scopus save as complete records and ris-format. Adding files in Bibexcel: Double-click in the box “Type new file name here” and type a filename. Then select all of your downloaded txt-files and run Files/Append all files to another. Select a txt-file and then run Edit doc-file/Replace line feed with carriage return. This will create a tx2-file. Select the tx2-file and run Misc/Convert to Dialog-format/Convert from Web of Science. This will create the doc-file that Bibexcel can analyze. For Scopus downloads in ris-format you run steps 1-3, and then use Misc/Convert to Dialog-format/Convert from Scopus RIS format. This will create the doc-file that Bibexcel can analyze.
