RESEARCH USE
Where revtools fits
revtools imports BibTeX, RIS, CIW, or CSV records into R for duplicate inspection, interactive title or abstract screening, and topic exploration. Retain the original files, R and package versions, deduplication rules, screening decisions, and exported results so that the process can be reviewed.
Research tasks
- Import and organize bibliographic records
- Inspect duplicates and screen titles or abstracts interactively
- Explore a literature set with topic models
What to evaluate before use
- The current CRAN version, 0.4.1, was published in 2019. Test it with the intended R and dependency versions rather than assuming that an older release is either incompatible or actively maintained.
- Topic models and interactive ordering are exploratory aids, not substitutes for a registered search, independent screening, or an auditable eligibility decision.
