In AIscreenR: AI Screening Tools in R for Systematic Reviewing

Write a data frame to a RIS file

Description

Writes a data.frame to a RIS file, one record per row. If the data frame was created by read_ris_to_dataframe(), the original RIS tag order and tags are preserved where possible. Otherwise, a standard RIS format is used.

Usage

save_dataframe_to_ris(df, file_path)

Arguments

df	data.frame. The data to write.
file_path	character. Path to the output RIS file.

Details

If a field value contains semicolons, it is split and written as multiple tag lines. The TY (source type) field is written first for each record, followed by all other fields. Records are terminated with ER - .

Value

A character string indicating the file path where the RIS file was saved.

Examples

## Not run: 
df <- read_ris_to_dataframe("data-raw/raw data/apa_psycinfo_test_data.ris")
save_dataframe_to_ris(df, "path/to/output.ris")

## End(Not run)
