parse_.Rd

Text in standard formats - such as imported via base::readLines() - can be parsed using a variety of standard formats. Use detect_parser() to determine which is the most appropriate parser for your situation.

Usage

parse_bibtex(x)

parse_pubmed(x)

parse_ris(x, tag_naming = "best_guess")

Arguments

x

A character vector containing bibliographic information in ris format.

tag_naming

What format are ris tags in? Defaults to "best_guess" See read_refs() for a list of accepted arguments.

Value

Returns an object of class bibliography (ris, bib, or pubmed formats) or data.frame (csv or tsv).
