PMID–>DOI as the next step #1

Not sure exactly what you meant by "would like to implement the PMID–>DOI as the next step" in http://blogs.plos.org/tech/structured-documents-for-science-jats-xml-as-canonical-content-format/#comment-15523 but since you say "Doesn’t seem like this exists in any other language/resource.", I thought I should mention that our (Python) code at https://github.com/erlehmann/open-access-media-importer/blob/master/sources/pmc_pmcid.py does find a DOI (if there is one) on the basis of a PMCID.

Thanks Daniel that's interesting but maybe I wasn't clear there, I meant there doesn't seem to be a facility to obtain corresponding author in any other language. Cheers anyway

"Implement PMID > DOI as the next step" meant that the next step to get DOI from non-PMC articles (PMC articles are more easily parsed for corresponding author)

The DOI can be used to obtain a URL with which to navigate to the actual article page with dx.doi.org/... and this page can then be parsed for corresponding author info.

OK, I see - never mind.

I'm interested in learning more Python though, cheers for the link :+1:
