Scopus

CiteSpace 5.4.R4 has made some changes on processing data downloaded from Scopus in the RIS format. One interesting change is the option of using article titles instead of the journal titles for cited references. As a result, in a network of co-cited references we will be able to see the article titles directly, which should be more informative than see the corresponding journal titles only. The length of the title is limited to 50 letters. Titles longer than that will have a trailing ... to indicate they have been chopped off. If you prefer the previous style, which is consistent with the Web of Science format, you can select that option accordingly at the time of coversion.
The References section of Scopus data still demonstrates a high degree of freedom. References without author information at all will be discarded not becaues they are not important, rather because it is a sign that something can be very unpredictable. Some references of articles originally appeared in Chinese provided references in English, followed by references in Chinese. When possible, the English version will be retained. If references are in Chinese entirely, then they will be processed.
The figure below shows a network of cited references derived from 1,126 records from a search on Scopus (title, keyword, abstract).
