Description: An increasingly important source of health-related
        bibliographic content are preprints - preliminary versions of
        research articles that have yet to undergo peer review. The two
        preprint repositories most relevant to health-related sciences
        are medRxiv <https://www.medrxiv.org/> and bioRxiv, both of
        which are operated by the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
        'medrxivr' provides programmatic access to the 'Cold Spring
        Harbour Laboratory (CSHL)' API <https://api.biorxiv.org/>,
        allowing users to easily download medRxiv and bioRxiv preprint
        metadata (e.g. title, abstract, publication date, author list,
        etc) into R. 'medrxivr' also provides functions to search the
        downloaded preprint records using regular expressions and
        Boolean logic, as well as helper functions that allow users to
        export their search results to a .BIB file for easy import to a
        reference manager and to download the full-text PDFs of
        preprints matching their search criteria.
