abstract: 'In searching for research articles, we often want to obtain lists of references
  from across studies, and also obtain lists of articles that cite a particular study.
  In systematic reviews, this supplementary search technique is known as ''citation
  chasing'': forward citation chasing looks for all records citing one or more articles
  of known relevance; backward citation chasing looks for all records referenced in
  one or more articles. Traditionally, this process would be done manually, and the
  resulting records would need to be checked one-by-one against included studies in
  a review to identify potentially relevant records that should be included in a review.
  This package contains functions to automate this process by making use of the Lens.org
  API. An input article list can be used to return a list of all referenced records,
  and/or all citing records in the Lens.org database (consisting of PubMed, PubMed
  Central, CrossRef, Microsoft Academic Graph and CORE; <https://www.lens.org>).'
