Description

SCOPUS allows for output of upload and process results of SCOPUS searches downloaded as .bib files. SCOPUS .bib output is the only one of their output options that uses the RIS field tags. It should be straightforward to write a function that converts SCOPUS .bib output to the same format as output of references_read() using bib2df package (bibliometrix might work as well, but output of bib2df requires less post-processing)

Research direction

Start by locating the references_read() entry point and reviewing how it structures reference records. Check the bib2df package output and compare it with references_read() results, using the SCOPUS .bib format described in the issue as the input. Done means a function processes that format into the same output structure.
