This repository contains detailed methods and annotated code associated with Stark DE, Shah NH. Funding and Publication of Research on Gun Violence and Other Leading Causes of Death. JAMA. 2017;317(1):84-85 and enables fully reproducible research.

The script gun_violence_annotated_code.Rmd is an R Markdown document and should be run within the same working directory as the accompanying file, Compressed Mortality, 2004-2014.txt. Internet access is required, as the code will retrieve data from the MEDLINE and Federal RePORTER databases. Running this .Rmd script in RStudio will take approximately 4-6 hours to complete on a standard machine. The completed output is gun_violence_annotated_code.pdf

The output that generated the results and figures contained in the text (submitted Aug 19, 2016) is included here as annotated_code.pdf Note that another version of the output was previously posted and removed (see repository history), because it was submitted after the test.
