Overview

About

Maintained by Chao LiuCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Provides comprehensive analytics, reporting, and testing capabilities for systematic review search strategies. The package focuses on validating search performance, generating standardized 'PRISMA'-compliant reports, and ensuring reproducibility in evidence synthesis. Features include precision-recall analysis, cross-database performance comparison, benchmark validation against gold standards, sensitivity analysis, temporal coverage assessment, automated report generation, and statistical comparison of search strategies. Supports multiple export formats including 'CSV', 'Excel', 'RIS', 'BibTeX', and 'EndNote'. Includes tools for duplicate detection, search strategy optimization, cross-validation frameworks, meta-analysis of benchmark results, power analysis for study design, and reproducibility package creation. Optionally connects to 'PubMed' for direct database searching and real-time strategy comparison using the 'E-utilities' 'API'. Enhanced with bootstrap comparison methods, 'McNemar' test for strategy evaluation, and comprehensive visualization tools for performance assessment. Methods based on Manning et al. (2008) for information retrieval metrics, Moher et al. (2009) for 'PRISMA' guidelines, and Sampson et al. (2006) for systematic review search methodology.

Initial CRAN submission.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("searchAnalyzeR", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("chaoliu-cl/searchAnalyzeR")

Development version from chaoliu-cl/searchAnalyzeR. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-searchanalyzer

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-searchAnalyzeR

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-searchAnalyzeR

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
