Web of Science XML Parser

A parser for Web of Science XML data in Python.

Installation

The package can be installed from PyPI:

pip install wos_parser

Getting Started

The parser can read *.xml files included in the Web of Science XML dataset. Note: The dataset is distributed as a collection of zipped archives (one for each record year), which in turn contain zipped versions of the xml files. These need to be unpacked first before passing them to the parser.

from wos_parser import WosParser


xml_path = "dataset/2023_CORE/WR_2023_20230111080536_CORE_0001.xml"

wos_parser = WosParser()

records = wos_parser.parse_records(xml_path)
