Import bibtex from scopus generates thousands of variables

[ccamara]

Whenever I want to import an scopus export, the resulting dataframe is completely messed up and has thousands of columns. Apparently, this should be fixed after #33 or #34 , but I'm afraid it is not.

Steps:

1. Make a query in scopus
2. Export bibtext file (see here: 20210604_scopus_urban_commons.zip)
3. install development version from bib2df (devtools::install_github("ropensci/bib2df") - 28th November 2021)
4. run testbib <- bib2df::bib2df("<attached file>")

Result:

 testbib
