USE

Why do I need to create a project?

The project will set up two directories to store various information needed for your project, such as default settings, data, and exported files from your project.

How to eliminate discrepancies involving the same items?

Use the primary/secondary alias option. The secondary alias entry will be replaced with the primary alias in the next run, i.e. when you press the GO button again. To select the primary alias, right-click on the node and choose from the pop-up menu.

STABILITY

CiteSpace is an ongoing development project. I intent to add new features, refine existing functions, fixing bugs, and so forth. However, due to time constraints, new versions are more likely to appear at an irregular pace.
