issue reading in file #33

Closed johnaeanderson closed 4 years ago

johnaeanderson commented 4 years ago

Hi Eliza,

I've tried importing some data using the following code:

`library(litsearchr)

search_directory <- "/Users/john/Documents/Litearature_Searches/Bilingualism_Functional_Connectivity/"

naiveimport <- litsearchr::import_results(directory = search_directory, verbose = TRUE)`

I'm getting this error: Error in read.table(text = x, header = TRUE, sep = "\t", quote = "\"", : duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed

I think this is an issue with data.table? Any help would be appreciated!

John

... as an update, this seems to work fine with RIS imports from scopus - so maybe it's something weird about web of science in particular?

elizagrames commented 4 years ago

Yeah, there is something odd happening with read.table for .csv and .tsv from Web of Science. I think I just fixed this by bug by setting row.names to NULL when importing .tsv and .csv text files. You'll have to re-install synthesisr (the dependency that handles import) for the fixed functions.

Hi Eliza,

Still not quite working, but I've managed a workaround which is to import a bibtex file from Web of Science to Zotero & output an RIS which is read fine.

Thanks again,

J

Hmm, that's odd. Somebody else had the same issue and said the fix worked for him, so it must be some nuance in how Web of Science files are exported and I don't know what the difference in file types is so I may have misinterpreted your original issue.

I am going to keep this issue closed for now and advise anyone reading this to re-read files through Zotero like John did, but will keep trying to figure out why some WoS files won't parse.
