Input preparation
Automated Search Helper supports following digital libraries (DL):
- IEEE
- ACM
- Science Direct
- Springer
- Willey
- Scopus
For each of the DLs different input format is supported (for some DLs there are multiple avaliable but only one supported). In following subsections the way of obtaining the input file from each website will be explained. To start exporting results from each DL user must first run a search in them.
For ACM the supported format is bib. To get the input file user can go through all pages of results and in each page first Select All references next click Export Citations and finally download the generated file.
As going through hundreds of results may be time consuming, authors prepared a python script that mimics this behavior and downloads all references. To use the script, user shall modify values in __main function with his own search link and output directory.
For IEEE the supported format is csv. To get the input file user shall use the Export button and download search results.
Springer https://link.springer.com
For Springer the supported format is csv. To get the input file user shall use the Download search results button which will generate the file.
Science Direct https://www.sciencedirect.com
For Science Direct the supported format is ris. To get the input file user can go through all pages of results and in each page first select all references next click Export, choose the RIS format and finally download the generated files.
As going through hundreds of results may be time consuming, authors prepared a python script that mimics this behavior and downloads all references. To use the script, user shall modify values in __main function with his own search link and output directory.
For Willey the supported format is bib. To get the input file user can go through all pages of results, click Export Clitations on each of them, select all refences and download the results in bib format.
As going through hundreds of results may be time consuming, authors prepared a python script that mimics this behavior and downloads all references. To use the script, user shall modify values in __main function with his own search link and output directory.
Scopus https://www.scopus.com
For Scopus the supported format is csv. To get the input file user shall use Export function and download search results for All references, user can limit the data only to DOIs of papers but the more data is in the CSV the more can be used by Automated Search Helper to correctly gather references data.
User can try to prepare his own custom file format basing on any of the formats for other digital libraries. Not all columns/fields of the references must be filled, e.g., for Scopus .csv format is required to fill DOI column, other colums are used only to supply data if the application fails to obtain them in other ways.
