Is xml from database preserved in xls #37

Closed nlisgo closed 10 years ago

nlisgo commented 10 years ago

The ethics notes data is stored in the database field as xml and I am unsure whether we can work with this data once it's been handed over to the xls file.

An example for manuscript 3 (10.7554/eLife.00003) is that the data in the database is like below:

<xml>
  <animal_subjects>
    <involved_comments>All animals received human care and experimental treatment  authorized by the Animal Experimentation Ethics Committee (CEEA) of the University of Barcelona (expedient number 78/05), in compliance with institutional guidelines regulated by the European Community.</involved_comments>
    <involved_ind>1</involved_ind>
  </animal_subjects>
  <human_subjects>
    <involved_ind>0</involved_ind>
  </human_subjects>
</xml>

but once you open the xls file in excel it is output in a single cell as this:

All animals received human care and experimental treatment authorized by the Animal Experimentation Ethics Committee (CEEA) of the University of Barcelona (expedient number 78/05), in compliance with institutional guidelines regulated by the European Community.10

The research did not involve serious risk for participants and did not make use of invasive techniques. The participation in the study was voluntary and participants were recruited using the Max-Planck Subjects Database. Before starting the experiments, an informed consent form was signed by participants, who were also informed that withdrawal from the study was possible at any time, without any penalty, and without having to give a reason. Participants data protection complied with the German Federal Data Protection Act. 1

The structure of this field seems to be:

if there are no ethics reported a float of 0.0 is returned.

if there is a human related ethics field, then there is a string, where the first value is "00" followed by the ethics statement, followed by one of "01" "111" "1"

if there is an animal ethics field, then there is a string followed by "10"

Examples of human ethics fields follow
