Tools for bibliographic data

Metascientific analyses - such as systematic reviews and meta-analyses - commonly involve searches of multiple bibliographic databases. These databases use a range of different data formats, and have differing degrees of overlap in the journals and articles that they index. To streamline the process of importing, assembling, and deduplicating results, synthesisr recognizes the file output of commonly used databases for systematic reviews and merges results into a tibble.
