Key Points

To describe the operational procedures, challenges, and data wrangling efforts required to merge bibliographic records from Web of Science and Scopus for cross-disciplinary literature reviews.
Extracted bibliometric datasets from both Web of Science and Scopus citation indexes within the topical domain of inter-firm relationships.
Implemented data wrangling techniques to clean, standardize, and reconcile disparate citation metadata, formats, and duplicate records.
Observed database coverage discrepancies across academic domains that introduce systematic bias when relying on a single citation index.
Demonstrated that multi-database integration demands substantial data wrangling effort to correct formatting inconsistencies and align bibliographic metrics.
