Time needed to retrieve full texts of relevant records

Description

This function calculates the time needed to retrieve the full texts of the abstracts deemed to be relevant at the previous stage in a systematic review, based on the inputs of the number of relevant abstracts ('inclabstracts.number', see 'inclabstracts.number' function), the number of records that can be retrieved per day ('retrieved.day'), and the percentage of all retrievals that are double checked for consistency ('retrieval.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

retrieval.time(inclabstracts.number = 310.1662, retrieval.day = 171,
  retrieval.checked = 0)
