dupes_rm: Remove duplicate entries

In graggsd/sysreviewR: Facilitates Management of Publication Records for Systematic Review

Description

Takes output of dupes_find, and returns a set of records with duplicate entries removed.

Usage

dupes_rm(x, db_pref = NULL, ignore_IDs = NULL)

Arguments

x	The output of dupes_find
db_pref	The preferred database for a reference.
ignore_IDs	A set of match IDs that will be ignored when removing duplicate records. These should be identified by manually inspecting the output of dupes_return.

Details

After running dupes_find, duplicate sets of records will contain identical match IDs specified in the match_ID column. This function will remove all but one entry from each set of duplicates. The preserved entry is selected based on the user's preferred database (db_pref) and the entry within the duplicate set with the least number of blank cells.

Value

An updated version of x, with duplicate records removed.
