abstract: 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 <https://www.biorxiv.org/>, 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.
