searchPublications_and_MapAffil (1)

• Download

This is a workflow for spatiotemporal analysis of literature indexed in PubMed. The workflow takes an arbitrary Europe PMC search query, calls the Europe PMC Web service searchPublications and extracts the publication year and PubMed ID from the results. The first author affiliation is then geoparsed by the MapAffil Web server to get latitude and longitudes. The coordinates are then concatenated together with the publication year, to produce a single list of publication years, latitudes and ...

Author Citation Network (1)

• Download

Map citation/reference network for one author using Europe PMC Web services. This workflow 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. This means the results may be a subset of the correct citation graph.

Author to Wordcloud (3)

• Download

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.

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...

• 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.
