Dear Andrej, Your interpretation is essentially correct. Candidates with ties will be all considered qualified unless you break ties with additional parameters such as the e threshold in Project Properties. For example, if you set e = 2, CiteSpace will exclude papers with citations below this threshold.
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?
