Gathering scripts to extract and clean bibliometric data

This github repository gathers different scripts to extract (mannually or via APIs) and then clean bibliometric data.

At this point, you will find:

• a script to clean the data extracted from Scopus website, but also to extract data using Scopus APIs and rscopus package;
• a script to clean the data extracted from Dimensions.

These scripts are draft scripts, which could be improved in many ways. I share them because they still can be useful or because it could trigger some collaborative work to make them better. In other words, this github repository is intended both as a pedagogical resource for historians of economics and other social scientists as well as a platform for listing and manipulating the different bibliometric databases.
