Pull Request: Initial Implementation of RetractionFindR Shiny App
Summary
This pull request introduces the full working version of RetractionFindR, a Shiny application designed to help systematic reviewers identify retracted studies from a .ris file. The app supports researchers using tools like INSTPECT-SR by cross-referencing input citations with the Retraction Watch database.
Key Features
File Upload: Users can upload .ris files exported from reference managers.
Retraction Check: Button triggers automated checking of each reference for retraction status.
Visual Feedback: A spinner (with waiter) provides user feedback during processing.
Results Summary: Number of retracted and non-retracted studies is displayed.
Tabular Output: Retracted and non-retracted studies are shown in separate tables.
Download Options: Results can be downloaded in .csv or .ris format.
Introductory Tab: Contains background context on the issue of retractions and how to use the tool.
Technical Highlights
Built using Shiny, tidyverse, synthesisr, waiter, and retractionfindr packages.
Incorporates robust error handling via tryCatch() and informative modal dialogs.
Uses reactiveVal() to store and update intermediate results.
User interface uses tabsetPanel() for clear separation between the app's introduction and results.
Known Limitations
Depends on the completeness of the Retraction Watch database.
Only .ris file uploads are currently supported.
