Title: Challenges and lessons for automating data extractions from scientific plots
Abstract: Here I present challenges to the semi-automation of data extraction from published figures. I first discuss failed implementations with an existing R package METAGEAR, and then focus on new technologies available in R that can help resolve deficiencies. Finally, I end with best practices for scientists to help make published figures more accessible to automated technologies.
