Identify whether a study claims novelty in TXT files.

Takes a TXT file and returns data related to the presence of novelty claims, including whether a novelty claim exists. If a novelty claim exists, it extracts the relevant text. Novelty is defined as the study claiming to report something "for the first time."

Usage

rt_novelty(filename = NULL, text = NULL)

Arguments

filename: The path to a TXT file as a string.
text: Alternatively, the article text itself as a character vector (for example the output of [rt_read_pdf()]). Supply `filename` or `text`.

Value

A tibble of results. It returns the file name (`article`), the PMID (`NA` if absent), whether a novelty claim was found, the text identified, and whether each pattern-matching function identified relevant text or not.

Examples

# \donttest{
# Write a short example article to a temporary text file.
filepath <- file.path(tempdir(), "PMID00000000-PMC0000000.txt")
writeLines(c(
  "To our knowledge, this is the first study of its kind.",
  "Conflicts of interest: none declared.",
  "This work was supported by the National Institutes of Health (R01-000000).",
  "The protocol was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT00000000).",
  "All data and code are available at https://github.com/example/repo.",
  "We independently replicated the original analysis."
), filepath)

# Identify and extract novelty claims.
