The Built-in Sample Project

BibexPy ships with a real bibliometric dataset so you can explore the whole pipeline before uploading your own exports.

What you get

On the very first launch (when your storage is empty), BibexPy creates a project named Simple Project containing:

| File | Source | Contents | | --- | --- | --- | | savedrecs.txt | Web of Science | A genuine WoS plain-text export (~3.5 MB) | | scopus.csv | Scopus | A genuine Scopus CSV export (~11 MB) |

Both files cover the same research topic, so Smart Merge has realistic duplicates to find — expect a few hundred cross-database matches.

What to try

1. Open Simple Project and run Start Smart Merge — watch the per-source input, duplicate and unique counts appear.
2. In Records & Filtering, narrow the corpus by year range or document type and watch the live match count.
3. In Harmonization, run the quality dashboard to see the weighted health score, then try author disambiguation.
4. Export to VOSviewer TSV and open it in VOSviewer, or export BibTeX for your reference manager.
5. Open Report to see the audit log and the auto-generated methodology paragraph.

Behavior notes

• The sample project is created once. If you delete it, it won't come back (a marker prevents re-seeding).
• It behaves exactly like any other project — you can filter, harmonize, export and delete it freely.
• If you upgrade from an earlier version with existing projects, the sample is not added to a non-empty workspace.
