Update retractionwatch

metacheck comes with a built-in data frame called retractionwatch. We update it regularly, but you can use this function to download the newest version. The download is >50MB, but this function will summarise the information into a smaller version (~0.5 MB) and delete the original file.

Usage

rw_update()

Value

the path to the data frame (invisibly)

Details

The data come from the Crossref Labs API. Crossref is retiring that API; when it cannot be reached, Crossref's copy on GitLab (https://gitlab.com/crossref/retraction-watch-data) is used.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# downloads the Retraction Watch database into tools::R_user_dir("metacheck", "data")
rw_update()
} # }
