Arguments

data

A data frame containing at least the columns: FirstName, LastName, and Conflict.

style

Output style: "paragraph", "bullets", or "numbered".

Value

A character string with the formatted conflict statement.

Examples

authors <- data.frame(
  FirstName = c("Alice", "Bob"),
  LastName = c("Smith", "Johnson"),
  Conflict = c("No conflict", "Consultant at Company Z"),
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)
generate_conflict(authors, style = "paragraph")
#> [1] "The following authors report conflicts of interest: Bob Johnson (Consultant at Company Z). All other authors (Alice Smith) declare no conflict of interest."
