retrieve & analyze final count of records accepted by IPCC

[teixeirak]

confirm this statement: "The discrepancy between the number of records sent and that posted to EFDB is primarily attributable to the time required for the IPCC to review the records, and it is not expected that many -- if any -- records will be rejected."

[teixeirak]

The statement above is not true. EFDB does not automatically accept records; they receive scrupulous review and discussion by team. Some records are deemed "not applicable" and not accepted.

This review process is extremely confidential, and I am not privy to the information on how many and why records were rejected -- or which were rejected -- because I am not technically the data provider (TSU had to be listed there because of their role).

I can get the final number accepted by searching the database for ForC records after the data are uploaded (Sandro will let me know when this is done).

Three things will need to change:

• [x] "Complete records needed to be reviewed by the EFDB editorial board and then posted in the database -- a process that lags behind submission of records and had not yet been completed for all records sent as of r format(Sys.time(), '%B %d, %Y')."
• [x] "The discrepancy between the number of records sent and that posted to EFDB is primarily attributable to the time required for the IPCC to review and post the records, and also because a minority of records were deemed not applicable to EFDB by the review panel."
• [x] n_records_posted_EFDB
• [ ] perhaps include some discussion of the attenuation

This does not need to be resolved before sending for review. I have made the necessary edits such that the manuscript is accurate. When EFDB posts the latest data, I will update the manuscript accordingly (assuming this happens before publication).

Done!
