Europe Pubmed Central? #10

Open sckott opened 11 years ago

Hey @DASpringate Curious if you already wrap the European Pubmed Central in rpubmed?

There are two different services here

Seems like what is in rpubmed now is this, right?

Whereas the European PMC endpoint is like:

Hey,

Yes, I have not wrapped the European PMC yet. I'd be happy to do so as part of rpubmed, but I have yet to find any use for it that is not in PMC...

sckott commented 11 years ago

Okay. I haven't used either very much - so the data in European PMC is a subset of that in PMC?

DASpringate commented 11 years ago

Yes, but it has a couple of extra tools that might mean it could be useful by itself: http://europepmc.org/FAQs "...including links to other relevant content, integrated text and data mining tools and grant reporting services through Europe PMC plus."

It is not immediately clear if these will be available via the API though.

Take that back, they are: http://europepmc.org/RestfulWebService

Probably worth doing then...

Cool. Well no pressure or hurry
