remove_accent

This function removes accents and replaces special characters from strings,
returning a plain-text version suitable for data cleaning or standardization.

Automatically flags common spatial errors in biological collection data using metadata and specialists' information. RuHere implements a workflow to manage occurrence data through six steps: dataset merging, metadata flagging, validation against expert-derived distribution maps, visualization of flagged records, and sampling bias exploration. It specifically integrates specialist-curated range information to identify geographic errors and introductions that often escape standard automated validation procedures. For details on the methodology, see: Trindade & Caron (2026) <doi:10.64898/2026.02.02.703373>.
