title: 'medrxivr: Access and Search MedRxiv and BioRxiv Preprint Data'
version: 0.1.1
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 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 ,
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.
