Which version? Uninstall it. Remove the folder User/xxx/.citespace, then install it again.

Thank you Marcos.

I have just added a blog to demonstrate the steps of exporting Scopus data to CSV. I hope it helps. https://citespace.podia.com/blog/48cc06cd-a615-45e8-9eb4-fcbaff26c424

The format of your CSV file is different from what I downloaded from Scopus back in Feb 2025. Scopus may have changed it, although the Feb version was more reliable. Your CSV file also has a few rows messed up. See attached. You should either remove or fix them. RIS exports from Scopus have some problems in the past. CiteSpace temporarily suspends the conversion of RIS exports from Scopus until the issues are fixed.

If the node type is references, make sure your data indeed contains references.

Most likely your local network is restricted.

Have you tried the version released on December 27, 2024?

Yes, it is possible as ties are allowed and top 50 distinct values are used to select qualified items. Thus each year there can be more than 50 qualified items.
