as suggested by @austinmeier

resolve PubMed Ids for grin references like: D.Z. Skinner. 1999. Non random chloroplast DNA hypervariability in Medicago sativa. Theor Appl Genet Theoretical and applied genetics; international journal of b.

and

D.H. Basigalup, D.K. Barnes, and R.E. Stucker. 1995. Development of a Core Collection for Perennial Medicago Plant Introductions. Crop Sci 35:1163-1168.

@austinmeier One way would be to use ncbi's citation resolver api. Another would be to use crossref. The latter links to pmid/pmcid/dois and the former only to dois.

Haven't used NCBI eUtilities citation lookup much, and I've had pretty good experiences with crossref. They are pretty good with semi-structured citations. See for example results for Skinner 1999

Provided that we have ~1k citations, I'd say that resolving the ids would be feasible. However, we would have to figure out a way to control the quality of the reference id resolving.

What benefit would the id resolving bring to this particular project?
