\usage{
applyCitationMatching(
  M,
  threshold = 0.9,
  method = "jw",
  min_chars = 20,
  max_block_size = 100,
  use_iso4 = TRUE,
  use_doi = TRUE,

}
\arguments{
\item{M}{A bibliometrix data frame, typically created by \code{\link{convert2df}}.
Must contain the columns:
\itemize{
  \item \code{SR}: Short reference identifier for each document
  \item \code{CR}: Cited references field (citations separated by semicolons)
  \item \code{DB}: (Optional) Database source identifier for format detection
}}

\item{threshold}{Numeric value between 0 and 1 indicating the similarity threshold
for matching citations. Default is 0.90. See \code{\link{normalize_citations}}
for details on selecting appropriate thresholds.}

\item{method}{String distance method to use for fuzzy matching. Options include:
\itemize{
  \item "jw" (default): Jaro-Winkler distance, optimized for bibliographic strings
  \item "lv": Levenshtein distance
  \item "osa": Optimal String Alignment distance
  \item "lcs": Longest Common Subsequence distance
  \item Other methods supported by \code{\link[stringdist]{stringdistmatrix}}
}}

\item{min_chars}{Minimum characters for valid citations (default: 20).}

\item{max_block_size}{Integer. Blocks with at least this many unique normalized
strings skip within-block fuzzy matching and fall back to exact matching only
(default: 100). Passed to \code{\link{normalize_citations}}.}

\item{use_iso4}{Logical. Enable ISO 4 / LTWA journal normalization (default \code{TRUE}).}

\item{use_doi}{Logical. Enable DOI-based exact matching (default \code{TRUE}).}

\item{use_exact}{Logical. Enable exact normalized-string and punctuation-invariant
matching (default \code{TRUE}).}

\item{fuzzy}{Logical. Enable within-block (WoS deterministic and Scopus fuzzy)
matching (default \code{TRUE}).}

\item{use_postproc}{Logical. Enable Phase 4.5 metadata-based post-processing
merge (default \code{TRUE}). These five logical switches are intended primarily
for ablation analyses and are passed through to \code{\link{normalize_citations}}.}

\item{title_guard}{Logical. Enable the optional Phase 4.6 series part-marker
cluster purification that splits over-merged multi-part works (default
\code{FALSE}). Passed through to \code{\link{normalize_citations}}.}
}
\value{
Same as \code{\link{applyReferenceMatching}}.
