This function downloads the 'PubMed Central' (PMC) open access file list from the 'National Center for Biotechnology Information' (NCBI) and processes it for use.
data_pmc_list(
path = NULL,
use_persistent_storage = FALSE,
force_install = FALSE
)
A character string specifying the directory path where data should be stored. If not provided and persistent storage is requested, it defaults to a system-appropriate persistent location managed by `rappdirs`.
A logical value indicating whether to use persistent storage. If TRUE and no path is provided, data will be stored in a system-appropriate location. Defaults to FALSE, using a temporary directory.
A logical value indicating whether to force re-downloading of the data even if it already exists locally.
A data frame containing the processed PMC open access file list.
The data is sourced from specified URL and stored locally for subsequent use. By default, the data is stored in a temporary directory. Users can opt into persistent storage by setting `use_persistent_storage` to TRUE and optionally specifying a path.
