I need help getting the package to read my data correctly and adding citation data without Scopus access

[NidiaBenitez]

Hello! I'm working with a document set of .csvs that I generated through Publish or Perish, for Google Scholar searches.

I have two issues I need help with:

1. I'm having trouble getting the package to read the contents of the Authors field.

This is what comes up when I try to print that:

Other fields however, I can print without problem:

I checked the document set fields and this is what came up:

{'title': 'Title', 'authors': 'Authors', 'abstract': 'Abstract', 'citation': None, 'date': 'Year', 'source': 'Source', 'pubmed': None, 'doi': 'DOI', 'keywords': None, 'publisher': 'Publisher', 'language': None}

So, I seem to understand from that I should be getting my authors data read correctly. How could I fix this issue?

2. Since I don't have a Scopus api key, I will have to collect references by hand for relevant papers for my network analysis. I would like to know how to add that data. What should I name the field in my .csv for the package to recognize it? How should I separate each individual reference for the data to be read correctly?

I apologize if this has an obvious solution, I'm whatever comes before beginner in Python. And thank you very much in advance!
