Web of Science: Cannot export records in XML format #14

Closed Pengustc closed 1 year ago

Pengustc commented 1 year ago

Currently, there is no option to save records to XML file format directly in Web of Science. Could you please provide a way convert the Plain Text to XML files?

Hi @Pengustc, Thanks for pulling up the package! I dont think I understand the request. To save a pandas dataframe into xml, there is a single command (https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.DataFrame.to_xml.html), so that will be able to save a processed dataframe in pyscisci. If your request is more advanced, I'ld need to know some use cases / examples and you would need to clarify which plain text files to which you are referring.

Thank you for your reply. It seems that my phrasing was not precise enough to convey my message effectively.

I am writing to inquire about the compatibility between the Web of Science platform and PySciSci. Specifically, I am experiencing difficulty exporting XML files from Web of Science in a format that is compatible with PySciSci.

In light of this issue, I would like to know if there are alternative methods for PySciSci to gain access to the raw plaintext format directly. Alternatively, if you could offer any guidance on how to convert the exported format from Web of Science into the required format for PySciSci, it would be most appreciated.

Thank you again for your assistance and guidance in this matter.
