Print PMCIDs as PMC1234 #9

Open tarrow opened 8 years ago

tarrow commented 8 years ago

Could we print PMC ids with the PMC prefix? I think this is pretty much the standard everywhere. I've not found any place that uses them with the prefix stripped at the moment (of course I may be wrong)

They are stripped in the wiki markup that we are extracting them from. E.g. "pmcid=327462384" Regardless, the output is structured data, so you can always reformat it how you like. Does outputting the PMC id in two columns cause some other problems I'm not considering?

It isn't really a problem; obviously I can just add it and it does keep the file size down to exclude it. I just thought it might be more unified with the format used by e.g. the NCBI and EuropePMC
