The repository also carries a machine-readable CITATION.cff, which GitHub turns into a ready-made citation through the Cite this repository button, and which reference managers can import directly.

The developer

Pablo Bernabeu is a researcher in the Department of Education at the University of Oxford, with hands-on experience of behavioural experiments, EEG, corpus analysis, computational modelling and statistics. He develops open, reproducible research software in R and Python, and is a Fellow of the Software Sustainability Institute. scopusflow and its R twin are part of that work, keeping a search reproducible and its results legible across both languages. His ORCID record lists his other work.

Licence

scopusflow is released under the MIT licence, reproduced in full on the licence page. Scopus is a trademark of Elsevier, and scopusflow is an independent client that is not affiliated with or endorsed by Elsevier.

Versioning and archival

Each release is tagged on GitHub and archived on Zenodo. The concept DOI, 10.5281/zenodo.21252666, always resolves to the latest version, so a citation stays current without chasing version numbers. The changelog records what changed in each release.

Contributing and support

Bugs and feature requests are welcome on the GitHub issues page, and the contributing guide covers the development setup, the offline test suite and the release process. When reporting a problem, never paste your Scopus API key or any other secret into an issue. Replace it with a placeholder instead.
