Reimport a RIS-file exported from CiteSource — reimport

This function reimports a RIS file that was tagged and deduplicated by CiteSource. It allows to continue with further analyses without repeating that step, and also allows users to make any manual corrections to tagging or deduplication. The function can also be used to replace the import step (for instance if tags are to be added to individual citations rather than entire files) - in this case, just call dedup_citations() after the import.

Usage

reimport_ris(
  filename = "citations.ris",
  source_field = "DB",
  label_field = "C7",
  string_field = "C8",
  tag_naming = "ris_synthesisr",
  verbose = TRUE
)

Arguments

filename: Name (and path) of RIS file to be reimported, should end in .ris
source_field: Character. Which RIS field should cite_sources be read from? NULL to set to missing
label_field: Character. Which RIS field should cite_labels be read from? NULL to set to missing
string_field: Character. Which RIS field should cite_strings be read from? NULL to set to missing
tag_naming: Synthesisr option specifying how RIS tags should be replaced with names. This should not be changed when using this function to reimport a file exported from CiteSource. If you import your own RIS, check names(CiteSource:::synthesisr_code_lookup) and select any of the options that start with ris_
verbose: Should confirmation message be displayed?

Details

Note that this functions defaults' are based on those in export_ris() so that these functions can easily be combined.

Examples

if (interactive()) {
  dedup_results <- dedup_citations(citations, merge_citations = TRUE)
  export_ris(dedup_results$unique, "citations.ris")
  unique_citations2 <- reimport_ris("citations.ris")
}
