screen_abstracts

Shiny app for screening articles by their abstracts

Description

This is a simple app for displaying bibliographic data one entry at a time, and manually selecting or excluding them. Articles can be ordered by a user-specified column, or or in one of three automated ways: as in the input dataset, alphabetically by title, or in random order (the default).

Usage

screen_abstracts(x, max_file_size)

Arguments

`x`	An (optional) object of class `data.frame` or `bibliography` to open in the browser. If empty, the app will launch with no data. Data can be added within the app via the 'import' button.
`max_file_size`	Optional argument to set the maximum file size (in MB) that the app will accept.

Value

This function launches a Shiny app in the users' default browser, allowing the user to select or exclude individual articles.

Examples

# to run the app and upload data interactively
## Not run: screen_abstracts()
# or to specify data from the workspace
file_location <- system.file(
  "extdata",
  "avian_ecology_bibliography.ris",
  package = "revtools")
x <- read_bibliography(file_location)
# to run the app using these data:
## Not run: screen_abstracts(x)
# or to run the app & save results to the workspace:
## Not run: result <- screen_abstracts(x)
