Time needed to extract meta-data from relevant full texts

Description

This function calculates the time needed to extract meta-data (i.e. descriptive information about the study) from all relevant full texts in a systematic review, based on the inputs of the number of included full texts ('inclft.number', see 'inclft.number' function), the number of studies that can have their meta-data extracted per day ('mdextraction.day'), and the percentage of all studies that are double checked for consistency of meta-data extraction ('mdextraction.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

mdataextr.time(inclft.number = 100.1607, mdextraction.day = 16.7,
  mdextraction.checked = 0)
