effort_initialize
(Package: metagear) :
Formats a reference dataset for title/abstract screening efforts.
Adds columns with standardized labels to a data framw with bibliographic data on journal articles. These columns will be used to assign reviewers, implementation of dual screening design, and the coding of inclusion/exclusions screening decisions.

effort_redistribute
(Package: metagear) :
Redistributes title/abstract screening efforts among a review team.
Randomly re-distributes screening tasks from one reviewers to the rest of the reviewing team. Used when screening effort needs to be re-allocated among reviewing team members.

metagear-package
(Package: metagear) :
Research synthesis tools to facilitate systematic reviews, data extraction,
metagear is a comprehensive, multifunctional toolbox with capabilities aimed to cover much of the research synthesis taxonomy: from applying a systematic review approach to objectively assemble and screen the literature, to extracting data from studies, and to finally summarize and analyse these data with the statistics of meta-analysis. The complete list of functions can be viewed with library(help = metagear). More information about metagear can be found at http://lajeunesse.myweb.usf.edu .

figure_barPlot
(Package: metagear) :
Detect and display all bar plot objects.
Automated detection of grouped data displayed in a bar-plot/chart figure image. The default returns these detected objects as an EBImage raster image, and as a vector of all the estimated lengths that are proportional to the values presented on each bar (and their error bars, if they are present). Note that the extracted points will be sorted by their positioning on the X-axis (or Y if the plot is a horizontal bar plot). For example, if there were error bars in the figure these will be grouped with the detected bar column. However, within these X-axis positioning they will not be sorted. See vignette for worked several illustrations.
