Usage

rt_replication_pmc(filename, remove_ns = FALSE)

Arguments

filename	The name of the PMC XML as a string.
remove_ns	TRUE if an XML namespace exists, else FALSE (default).

Value

A tibble of results. It returns the unique identifiers of the article, whether a replication component was found, the relevant text and whether each pattern-matching function identified relevant text.

Examples

# Path to a bundled example PMC XML file.
filepath <- system.file(
  "extdata", "PMID32171256-PMC7071725.xml", package = "rtransparency"
)

# Identify and extract replication components.
results_table <- rt_replication_pmc(filepath, remove_ns = TRUE)
