loadBookDataset

Downloads and caches the management collection dataset used in the book
"Science Mapping Analysis - A primer with Biblioshiny"
by Massimo Aria and Corrado Cuccurullo (McGraw-Hill, 2026).
The dataset is downloaded from GitHub on first use and
cached locally in <code>~/.bibliometrix/</code> for subsequent calls.

Tool for quantitative research in scientometrics and bibliometrics.
It implements the comprehensive workflow for science mapping analysis proposed in Aria M. and
Cuccurullo C. (2017) <doi:10.1016/j.joi.2017.08.007>.
'bibliometrix' provides various routines for importing bibliographic data from 'SCOPUS',
'Clarivate Analytics Web of Science' (<https://www.webofknowledge.com/>), 'Digital Science Dimensions'
(<https://www.dimensions.ai/>), 'OpenAlex' (<https://openalex.org/>), 'Cochrane Library' (<https://www.cochranelibrary.com/>), 'Lens' (<https://lens.org>),
and 'PubMed' (<https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/>) databases, performing bibliometric analysis
and building networks for co-citation, coupling, scientific collaboration and co-word analysis.
