bibnets: Importing, Constructing, and Exporting Bibliometric Networks

Imports, constructs, and exports bibliometric networks from scholarly metadata. Reads 'Scopus', 'Web of Science', 'BibTeX', 'RIS', 'OpenAlex', 'Lens.org', 'Dimensions', and 'Crossref' exports. Goes beyond standard co-networks with attention-weighted networks (lead, last, proximity, circular position weights), position-aware counting (harmonic, arithmetic, geometric, golden-ratio), similarity and dissimilarity normalisations, temporal networks with fixed, sliding, and cumulative windows, disparity-filter backbone extraction, historiograph construction, and local citation scoring. Methods described in López-Pernas, Saqr & Apiola (2023) <doi:10.1007/978-3-031-25336-2_5>.
