Time needed to conduct critical appraisal on all included records

Description

This function calculates the time needed to conduct critical appraisal (i.e. assess internal and external validity) on all relevant records in a systematic review, based on the inputs of the number of records passing the meta-data extraction stage ('mdataextr.number', see 'mdataextr.number' function), the number of studies that can be critically appraised per day ('ca.day'), and the percentage of all studies that are double checked for consistency of critical appraisal ('ca.checked'). Where full dual screening of all records is used, this will equal a percentage of 100 abstracts being checked. Default values are provided based on the empirical study of environmental systematic reviews by Haddaway and Westgate (2018) https://doi.org/10.1111/cobi.13231.

Usage

ca.time(mdataextr.number = 100.1607, ca.day = 11.7, ca.checked = 0)
