title: 'medrxivr: Access and Search MedRxiv and BioRxiv Preprint Data'
version: 0.1.4
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.medrxivr
abstract: An increasingly important source of health-related bibliographic content
  are preprints - preliminary versions of research articles that have yet to undergo
  peer review. The two preprint repositories most relevant to health-related sciences
  are medRxiv <https://www.medrxiv.org/> and bioRxiv, both of which are operated by
  the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. 'medrxivr' provides programmatic access to the
  'Cold Spring Harbour Laboratory (CSHL)' API <https://api.biorxiv.org/>, allowing
  users to easily download medRxiv and bioRxiv preprint metadata (e.g. title, abstract,
  publication date, author list, etc) into R. 'medrxivr' also provides functions to
  search the downloaded preprint records using regular expressions and Boolean logic,
  as well as helper functions that allow users to export their search results to a
  .BIB file for easy import to a reference manager and to download the full-text PDFs
  of preprints matching their search criteria.
