Contents

This is the github repository for the R package researchTools. The tools include:

find_weasels

find_weasels returns a count of words we want to avoid in writing, so called "weasel" words as termed by Matt Might. Additional words to avoid have been added, including those suggested by Dierdre McCloskey in Economical Writing. The idea is to remove them from writing as much as possible. An example use (the ones I use in my makefiles) is:

researchTools::find_weasels("draft.Rmd", outfile = "weasels.csv")

which will create a file "weasels.csv" that contains a count of all weasel words in the document "draft.Rmd".
