When extracting results from PubMed, there doesn't seem (?) to be a simple way to extract the results as a CSV and include the abstract.
This is a quick and dirty way of converting the text file that includes the abstract to a CSV. The goal is to make it easier to conduct title and abstract screening.
Instructions for use:
- Conduct your search in PubMed and save the results as Abstract (text).
- Change the working directory in this script to your working directory.
- Change the file name to the file name of your saved results from the PubMed search.
- Run the script.
- (Optional) Make changes to this script if you catch it making any mistakes. ;-)
