RIS2CSV

RIS2CSV Convert RIS files from Scopus to CSV files for easier data analysis.
Output CSV file uses tab '\t' as delimiter.

It was created because there are problems with downloading CSV files from the Scopus platform and other formats being more difficult to create analyzes with Excel.

You can also use it to convert RIS file to Python Dictionary to do data analysis with Python.

ris2csv's Issues

Doesn't handle UTF-8 with BOM Ris files safely

First, let me say, thank you for the great script. Working very well and fast!

Just came across a minor issue with Web of Sciene RIS files, they have a BOM at the start. Would be neat if the converter checked for the BOM and removed it. :)
