CiteSource: Data-Driven Search Strategy Development and Evidence Synthesis Reporting

Deduplicates bibliographic citations from multiple sources while preserving customizable metadata, supporting data-driven search strategy development and evidence synthesis reporting. Search results can be analyzed using plots and tables, and imported or exported in 'RIS' and 'CSV' formats. An interactive 'shiny' application is included for exploratory use.
