R: Merges multiple files that had title/abstract screening...

effort_merge

R Documentation

Merges multiple files that had title/abstract screening efforts distributed across a team.

Description

Combines (merges) multiple effort_*.csv files within the same directory that represent the completed screening efforts of multiple team members. These files were originally generated with effort_distribute.

Usage

effort_merge(directory = getwd(), reviewers = NULL, dual = FALSE)

Arguments

`directory`	The directory name for the location of multiple .csv files. Assumes the current working directory if none is explicitly called. File names must include the "effort_" string as originally generated by `effort_distribute`.
`reviewers`	A vector of reviewer names (strings) used to merge effort from a select group of team members. Must be an even collection (e.g., pairs of reviewers) when a dual design was implemented.
`dual`	When `TRUE`, merges files implementing a dual screening design.

Value

A single data.frame merged from multiple files.

Examples

data(example_references_metagear)
theTeam <- c("Christina", "Luc")
# warning effort_distribute below, will save two files to working
# directory: effort_Christina.csv and effort_Luc.csv
effort_distribute(example_references_metagear, initialize = TRUE,
                  reviewers = theTeam, save_split = TRUE)
effort_merge()
