citation_location: Find location of particular citation in text
In dyerlab/footprints: Performs analyses on scientific manuscripts

Description Usage Arguments Value Note Author(s)

This is a handy function to find out where a citation is located in a manuscript.

1 2	citation_location(full_text, key, breaks = c("Introduction", "Methods", "Results", "Discussion"))

`full_text`	This is an array of text that is usually grabbed from `grab_text()` function.
`key`	The sequence you are searching for in the `full_text`
`breaks`	The sequence of section headers to partition the paper into. By default, the text is broken into "Introduction", "Methods", "Results", and "Discussion"

A list with the number of times the key was found in each section (defined by breaks) in full_text.

This function will allow you to specify the partitions of the manuscript in which to look for a particular citation (or phrase). It should be noted that you need to try alternate citation types (e.g., Smith (1997), (Smith 1997), Smith .... (1997)), this function isn't that cleaver...
