This small workflow demonstrates how to connect to and use Europe PMC (http://europepmc.org/RestfulWebService). The workflow searches the publications of an author, extracts the abstracts, counts the word frequencies and plot a wordcloud using the R package of the same name. The Rshell plot_wordcloud also applies text mining operations (transformation to lower case, removing punctuation, stripping whitespace and removing English stopwords) using the R package tm.
