rt_score: Count the transparency indicators met by each article

In rtransparency: Identifies Indicators of Transparency

Count the transparency indicators met by each article

Description

Adds a column giving, for each article (row), how many of the transparency indicators were detected. This is the per-article transparency score used to describe how many practices an article adheres to.

Usage

rt_score(data, indicators = NULL, name = "n_indicators")

Arguments

data	A data frame with one row per article and indicator columns named as in [rt_all_pmc()].
indicators	Optional character vector of indicator columns to count. Defaults to the five openness practices present in 'data' (conflicts of interest, funding, registration, data and code); novelty and replication are excluded unless requested explicitly, as they are not adherence practices.
name	Name of the count column to add (default '"n_indicators"').

Value

'data' as a tibble with the integer count column added. Rows with no assessed indicators receive 'NA' for the count. Tabulate it (for example with [table()] or 'dplyr::count()') for the distribution of the number of practices met.
