Getting Started

Research

I'm running co-authorship analysis. When I load my Scopus data file and run the analysis, sometime I get a map with colored clusters and links as expected. However, sometimes I only get a map with nodes (mostly gray), and without colored clusters of authors or links. What could account for this?
Additionally, the map shows author names in two versions on the map: for example, jones, K. (correct) and jones K.; Why is the version of the nam with the semi-colon appearing?
Thanks.

Group activity causual

Hi, I've been trying to use a CitNetExplorer network as input for VOSViewer. I managed to download pajek files from CitNetExplorer (from my network and clusters), and input those in VOSViewer. My only problem is that if I use these files as VOSViewer input, only the first author and publication year are available, and I can no longer view other information about articles nor click and open them from VOSViewer directly.
I can click and open these articles in CitNetExplorer, and when I create a map based on bibliographic data in VOSViewer, I can also click the articles and they open in my webbrowser. Just when I load the CitNetExplorer Pajek files it doesn't work. Does anyone have a solution for this? Would love to be able to open my articles from VOSViewer directly :)

Hello!
I've been having a problem for a few days and I need your help, please!
I want to perform a bibliometric analysis. If yesterday there were various errors, today I have another problem: I exported 2 files (tab delimited file) from Web of Science: 1 tab with documents from 1-500 and 1 tab with documents from 501-593. However, when I enter them in VOSviewer only 567 appear. Please, where am I wrong or what is happening? I haven't had this problem before!
Thank you!

I download txt file from Web of Science and when I upload the file on VOSviewer, I received an error message "cannot find author (AF/AU), address (C1), cited reference (CR), author keyword (DE), or Keyword plus (ID) field”.
Could you please help?

gouvernance apprenante et qualité de l'éducation

Hi
Is it possible to define our own clusters? More precisely, from a WoS export, I want to illustrate the network of collaborators with a clustering of the countries per continent: Europe, America, Asia, etc.
Thanks for your answer.

The impact of board diversity on the bank’s financial performance

Good day VosViewer team,
Thank you for an amazing resource. I use this frequently and have found it extremely hopeful in my own research. I have only used Vos when analysing thousands of articles, whereas my question below relates to the complete opposite issue.
I have been asked to review a manuscript and I have a specific question. In the Vos 2011 Manual, it notes that Vos is particularly helpful for mapping large amounts of items (100 - 200 items). The paper I am reviewing only has 35 articles and a very small number of terms. Is Vos an appropriate tool for such a small number of articles and what are the implications for results when the number of articles is so small?
Thank you!

In VOSviewer, when we conduct an analysis based on countries, does this refer to the country of the journal, the country of the authors' affiliation, or the country of the organizations? Thank you.

I was looking at your documentation. Web of Science now allows up to 1,000 records per export. Can you please update? Page 30. Thank you.

thank you

Thanks so much for all your work on VOSviewer. I'm working with an .ris file to construct a co-authorship network of 925 citations, I’m interested in visualizing a network of not only authors (.ris tag AU) but also editors (.ris tag A2). Is this possible?

Hello Team,
I'd like to congratulate you on such a tremendous project, I think you guys are doing great work putting this amazing software out there. I'd like to navigate this further but I've encountered a bit of a challenge using your product. After downloading it I tried to launch the app but keep getting the error message "Unable to load Java runtime environment. I downloaded the MacOS version because my laptop is a Macbook Pro 2. Please can you help me to rectify this issue?

Dear VOSviewer Support Team,
I hope this email finds you well.
I am currently using VOSviewer on my MacBook for analyzing data, but I am encountering an issue with reading CSV files. Specifically, when I upload a Scopus CSV file into VOSviewer, I consistently receive a warning message that says "incorrect use of quotes."
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue. Could you please provide guidance or suggestions on how to address the problem with CSV file formatting?
Thank you very much for your support.
Best regards,
Budiawan

Hi, I'm helping a researcher with Vosviewer. She wants to get a list in csv of the references with title, author, journal, year etc. of the clusters she has produced. We try, but only succeed in getting out what is visible in the cluster, eg authors, in a text file. Is there a way to get a list of all information about the references in a cluster?
Thanks in advance!

i can t to install software into my computer. Please help me
