It uses the data in the accompanying file "NatureConnectionData.csv".<br>2) NatureConnectionData.csvThis csv file contains the data that was associated with the R code found in file #1 ("NatureConnection.r"). Columns A:B contain the data on the numbers of studies per country, which were used to create the map of global study effort. More information on the data contained in this file is given within the paper.
