Citation analysis question

[Dobri Georgievski]

Dear Mr. Leydesdorff,



thank you very much for your prompt reply! It is more than helpful!! I've
installed CiteSpace and BibExcel. My next step is preparing data stored in
MS Access to be compatible with different software packages for later
(bibliometric) analysis. I missed some important preparatory work before
designing my database, especially in regard to collecting different
variables. Thanks to your suggestions I'm thinking about redesigning the
citation table (form) which was not done very well.

Thank you again.

Best wishes,


Dobri Georgievski
