Revision comment:

The revised version of the workflow uses the pageSize parameter to retrieve records in chunks of 1,000, rather than 25 which was the previous limit. Up to five such chunks, or 5,000 records, can be retrieved with this workflow. This is probably sufficient for all individual author analyses, but can easily be extended as needed.

Get article titles from Europe PMC for sin... (2)

This small workflow demonstrates how to connect to the new (August 2015) version of Europe PMC (http://europepmc.org/RestfulWebService). Changes from previous versions include the addition of a pageSize parameter, allowing the client to request up to 1,000 records at once. If this would still not be sufficient, the offSet paremeter can be used to retrieve data in chunks of 1,000 records and the Flatten List service used to concatenate the results.

Author Publications and Citations by Year (2)

Download

This small workflow demonstrates how to connect to and use Europe PMC (http://europepmc.org/RestfulWebService) to count the number of publications and citations per year for one author. Two Web service calls are made. First, we searchPublications to retrieve the bibliographic records for all published work of a single author. Then, we getCitations to extract the year of all articles citing the work of this author. A conditional XPath is here used to only look up citing articles for cited work...
