Changelog

Source: NEWS.md

papercheck 0.0.0.9049

  • Updated read_grobid() to classify headers as intro, method, results, discussion with better accuracy (to handle garbled headers)
  • Updated pdf2grobid() to allow some grobid parameters
  • Updated the module “all_p_values” to handle more scientific notation formats

papercheck 0.0.0.9048

  • Functions to check ResearchBox.org (rbox_links() and rbox_retrieve()) – very preliminary
  • The module “all_p_values” now returns the p-value as a numeric column p_value and the comparator as p_comp, like “exact_p”

papercheck 0.0.0.9047

  • fixed some bugs in osf and aspredicted functions (mainly around dealing with private or empty projects)

papercheck 0.0.0.9046

papercheck 0.0.0.9045

  • When reading a paper with read_grobid(), the paper$references table now contains new columns for bibtype, title, journal, year, and authors to facilitate reference checks, and more reliably pulls DOIs.
  • The psychsci set has been updated for the new reference tables
  • fixed bug in info_table() where adding “id” to the items argument borked the id column
  • Added json_expand() function to expand JSON-formatted LLM responses
  • Updated the LLM examples in the vignettes
  • Added find_project argument to osf_retrieve() to make searching for the parent project optional (it takes 1+ API calls)

papercheck 0.0.0.9044

  • Revised the OSF functions again!
  • Organised the Reference section of the website
  • Added some blog posts to the website

papercheck 0.0.0.9042

  • New OSF functions and vignette
  • Build pkgdown manually

papercheck 0.0.0.9041

  • Fixed a bug in validate() that returned incorrect summary stats if the data type of an expected column didn’t match the data type of an observed column (e.g., double vs integer)
  • Combined the two effect size modules into “effect_size”
  • Renamed the module “imprecise_p” to “exact_p” (I keep typo-ing “imprecise”)
  • Added a loading message
  • Added code coverage at https://app.codecov.io/gh/scienceverse/papercheck
  • updated “all_p_values” to handle unicode operators like <=or >>

papercheck 0.0.0.9040

  • Updated default llm model to llama-3.3-70b-versatile (old one is being deprecated in August)
  • Updated reporting function for modules to show the summary table
  • Fixes a bug in validate() that returned FALSE for matches if the expected and observed results were both NA
  • Added two preliminary modules: “effect_size_ttest” and “effect_size_ftest”

papercheck 0.0.0.9039

  • removed the llm_summarise module
  • updated papercheck_app() to show all modules
  • removed the LLM tab from the shiny app
  • fixed a bug in pdf2grobid() where a custom grobid_url was not used in batch processing
  • psychsci object updated to use XMLs from grobid 0.8.2, which fixes some grobid-related errors in PDF import

papercheck 0.0.0.9038

  • validate() function is updated for the new module structure
  • the validation, metascience, and text_model vignettes are updated
  • modules can now use relative paths (to their own location) to access helper files

papercheck 0.0.0.9037

  • The way modules are created has been majorly changed – it is now very similar to R package functions, using roxygen for documentation, instead of JSON format. There is no longer a need to distinguish text search, code, and LLM types of modules, they all use code. The vignettes have been updated to reflect this.
  • Modules now return a summary table that is appended to a master summary table if you chain modules like psychsci |> module_run("all_p_values") |> module_run("marginal")
  • The validate() function is temporarily removed to adapt the workflow to the new summary tables.
  • new module_help() function and some help/examples in modules
  • new module_info() helper function
  • new paperlist() function to create paper list objects
  • paper lists now print as a table of IDs, titles, and DOIs
  • updated read_grobid() to have fewer false positives for citations
  • updated retractionwatch

papercheck 0.0.0.9036

  • Now reads in grobid XMLs that have badly parsed figures

papercheck 0.0.0.9035

  • updated the shiny app for recent changes

papercheck 0.0.0.9034

  • openalex() takes paper objects, paper lists, and vectors of DOIs as input, not just a single DOI

papercheck 0.0.0.9033

  • added read_cermine() as associated internal functions for reading cermine-formatted XMLs

papercheck 0.0.0.9032

papercheck 0.0.0.9031

  • read_grobid() now includes figure and table captions, plus footnotes, in the full_text table
  • the psychsci paper list object is updated to include the above
  • The functions that module_run() delegates to now check and only pass valid arguments

papercheck 0.0.0.9030 (2025-03-01)

  • modules are now updated for clearer output, and added a new module vignette
  • llm() no longer returns NA when the rate limit is hit, but slows down queries accordingly
  • read_grobid() now includes back matter (e.g., acknowledgements, COI statements) in the full_text, so is searchable with search_text()
  • references are now converted to bibtex format, so are more complete and consistent
  • Machine-learning module types are removed (the python/reticulate setup was too complex for many users), and instructions for how to create simple text feature models is included in the metascience vignette

papercheck 0.0.0.9029 (2025-02-26)

  • added author_table() to get a dataframe of author info from a list of paper objects
  • fixed a bunch of tests now that multiple matches in a sentence are possible

  • Fixed a bug in search_text() that omitted duplicate matches in the same sentence when using results = “match”
  • Upgraded the search string for the “all-p-values” module to not error when a numeric value is followed by “-”
  • Error catching for stats() related to the above problem (and filed an issue on statcheck)

  • added “all” option the the return argument of search_text()
