Workflows

Author Citation Network (1)

• Download

Map citation/reference network for one author using Europe PMC Web services. This workflow was created during the Tavernathon exercise held at the LUMC on October 14, 2015 and is intended to show the integration of several Web services, XPath XML parsing and use of the igraph package in R. Although the workflow is functional, the information in PubMed is incomplete, resulting in the workflow producing a subset of the correct citation graph.

Create Local Citation Graph (1)

• Download

This workflow demonstrates how to build a local citation/reference graph for a single pubilcation in PubMed. The id input is the PubMed id (pmid) for any publication in the PubMed or PMC Europe. The workflow then queries the PMC Europe Web services to get the citations and references for this publication. Two XPath parsers are used to extract the citation and reference ids, which are then combined and passed on to an Rshell that draws a Sugiyama style layered graph using the igraph package. T...

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...

Visualize Geographical Bias between PubMed... (3)

• Download

This workflow analyzes the scientific output, as documented by PubMed, geographically. The workflow takes as input the PubMed data in XML and the ISO 3166-1 and ISO 3166-3 country lists. The XML files can contain any subset from two specific PubMed searches. for example for two different journals in the same field. The XPath components extract author affiliations, and feed these to a series of Beanshell components that match these with countries in the ISO standard. This data is then fed to ...

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

• Download

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.

connect to WoS Web services lite concept (1)

• Download

This workflow is a concept for how Taverna could connect to the Thomson Reuters Web of Science (WoS) Web services lite. However, at this moment (2015-01-20), the authentication generate a session ID, but the other services (here search and closeSession) do not have an input port for this session ID. According to the documentation, this is required. The error message from the Web service also show this is missing. This workflow is "work in progress", but may nevertheless be of interest to an...
