In filterNHP: Non-Human Primate Search Filters

filterNHP

Non-human primate (NHP) search filters.

filterNHP is an R package and web-based application for generating search filters to query scientific bibliographic sources (PubMed, PsycINFO via EBSCOhost and Web of Science) for non-human primate related publications. Search filters are designed for researchers wishing to conduct unbiased and comprehensive literature reviews.

You can install filterNHP from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("avrincon/filterNHP")

A user-friendly Shiny App implementation can be found at filternhp.dpz.eu.

If you have the filterNHP package installed, you can launch the Shiny App from the R console with filterNHP::run_filter_nhp_app().

library(filterNHP)

The core function of this package is filter_nhp(). To create a search filter the user must specify a bibliographic source and taxa of interest. By default the function prints a search filter for all non-human primates, formatted for PubMed.

           taxa = "nonhuman_primates")

It is also possible to create search filters for any NHP taxon or combination of taxa, down to the genus level. For example:

filter_nhp(source = "PsycInfo", 
           taxa = "Catarrhini")
#> DE("baboons" OR "bonobos" OR "chimpanzees" OR "gorillas") OR TX("african monkey*" OR "allen's swamp monkey*" OR "allenopithecus" OR "ape" OR "apes" OR "asian monkey*" OR "baboon" OR "baboons" OR "bonobo" OR "bonobos" OR "catarhine*" OR "catarhini" OR "catarrhina" OR "catarrhine*" OR "catarrhini" OR "cercocebus" OR "cercopithecid*" OR "cercopithecinae" OR "cercopithecine*" OR "cercopithecini" OR "cercopithecoid" OR "cercopithecoidea" OR "cercopithecoids" OR "cercopithecus" OR "chimp" OR "chimpanzee" OR "chimpanzees" OR "chimps" OR "chlorocebus" OR "colobidae" OR "colobinae" OR "colobine*" OR "colobini" OR "colobus*" OR "cynomolgus" OR "douc" OR "doucs" OR "erythrocebus" OR "gelada" OR "geladas" OR "gibbon" OR "gibbons" OR "gorilla" OR "gorillas" OR "grivet" OR "grivets" OR "guenon*" OR "guereza*" OR "hominid*" OR "hominin" OR "homininae" OR "hominine" OR "hominines" OR "hominini" OR "hominins" OR "hominoidea" OR "hoolock" OR "hylobates" OR "hylobatidae" OR "kipunji*" OR "langur" OR "langurs" OR "leaf eating monkey*" OR "leaf monkey*" OR "leaf-eating monkey*" OR "lesula*" OR "lophocebus" OR "lutung" OR "lutungs" OR "macaca" OR "macaque's" OR "macaque" OR "macaques" OR "malbrouck*" OR "mandrill" OR "mandrills" OR "mandrillus" OR "mangabey*" OR "miopithecus" OR "mona monkey*" OR "nasalis larvatus" OR "nomascus" OR "old world monkey*" OR "old world non-human primate*" OR "old world nonhuman primate*" OR "old world primate*" OR "orang utan*" OR "orang-utan*" OR "orangutan*" OR "pan paniscus" OR "pan troglodytes" OR "panin" OR "panina" OR "panins" OR "papio" OR "papionini" OR "patas monkey*" OR "piliocolobus" OR "pongid*" OR "ponginae" OR "pongo" OR "presbytini" OR "presbytis" OR "proboscis monkey*" OR "procolobus" OR "pygathrix" OR "rhesus monkey*" OR "rhinopithecus" OR "rungwecebus" OR "semnopithecus" OR "siamang" OR "siamangs" OR "simias" OR "snub-nosed monkey*" OR "surili*" OR "symphalangus" OR "talapoin*" OR "theropithecus" OR "trachypithecus" OR "vervet*")

filter_nhp(source = "WebOfScience", 
           taxa = c("Papio", "Theropithecus", "Mandrillus"))
#> TS=("baboon" OR "baboons" OR "gelada" OR "geladas" OR "mandrill" OR "mandrills" OR "mandrillus" OR "papio leucophaeus" OR "papio sphinx" OR "papio" OR "theropithecus")

filter_nhp(source = "PubMed", 
           taxa = c("Hylobatidae", "Ponginae"))
#> "hylobatidae"[mh] OR "pongo"[mh] OR "gibbon"[tiab] OR "gibbons"[tiab] OR "hoolock"[tiab] OR "hylobates"[tiab] OR "hylobatidae"[tiab] OR "lesser ape*"[tiab] OR "nomascus"[tiab] OR "orang utan*"[tiab] OR "orang-utan*"[tiab] OR "orangutan*"[tiab] OR "pongid*"[tiab] OR "ponginae"[tiab] OR "pongo"[tiab] OR "siamang"[tiab] OR "siamangs"[tiab] OR "symphalangus"[tiab]

You can also omit a taxonomic group(s) that occurs within a taxa.

filter_nhp(source = "WebOfScience", 
           taxa = "Hominidae", 
           omit = "Pongo")
#> TS=("bonobo" OR "bonobos" OR "chimp" OR "chimpanzee" OR "chimpanzees" OR "chimps" OR "gorilla" OR "gorillas" OR "great ape*" OR "hominid*" OR "hominin" OR "homininae" OR "hominine" OR "hominines" OR "hominini" OR "hominins" OR "pan paniscus" OR "pan troglodytes" OR "panin" OR "panina" OR "panins")

To print a list of all taxa options you can use get_nhp_taxa().

By default, with the argument simplify = TRUE, search filters are printed to the console in the appropriate format of the specified bibliographic source, such that they can be used (copy-pasted) without modification. However, the object returned is NULL. If simplify = FALSE, then the function returns a character string. This may be useful if the user wants to assign the output to an R object for further manipulation.

filter_nhp(source = "PsycInfo", taxa = "aotus", simplify = TRUE)
#> TX("aotes" OR "aotus" OR "night monkey*" OR "owl monkey*")
filter_nhp(source = "PsycInfo", taxa = "aotus", simplify = FALSE)
#> [1] "TX(\"aotes\" OR \"aotus\" OR \"night monkey*\" OR \"owl monkey*\")"
