title: 'searchAnalyzeR: Advanced Analytics and Testing Framework for Systematic Review
  Search Strategies'
version: 0.1.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.searchAnalyzeR
abstract: 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.
