BibexPy-Lite (Google Colab)
A lightweight companion to BibexPy that runs the same Smart Merge algorithm (DOI-based Web of Science + Scopus deduplication) in Google Colab or a terminal — no installation, no Python setup. Just merge.
Open in Google Colab →
How it works
- Open the notebook in Google Colab (one click).
- Run the Setup cell (clone + install).
- Optionally upload your Web of Science (.txt) and Scopus (.csv) exports — or use the bundled Sample Project.
- Run the Merge cell and pick your project from the menu.
- Download the results: Merged.xlsx plus a VOSviewer / Biblioshiny-ready .txt.
BibexPy-Lite vs the full app
| | BibexPy-Lite | Full app |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Install | None (runs in Colab) | pip install bibexpy |
| Smart Merge (DOI-based dedup) | ✓ | ✓ |
| Filtering, harmonization, enrichment | — | ✓ |
| Audit log, snapshots, methodology report | — | ✓ |
| Best for | A quick one-off merge | The complete, reproducible workflow |
Both use the same merge algorithm, so the merged dataset is identical.
Need the full pipeline?
For filtering, author/affiliation harmonization, enrichment and a provenance report, install the full app and use the 5-step pipeline.
