Author Publications and Citations by Year

Created: 2015-09-14 16:33:19      Last updated: 2015-09-17 16:44:54

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, i.e. records with result[citedByCount>0]. The pubYear fields is extracted from the raw Web service results and fed to an Rshell that produces two histograms as output, one for publications and one for citations, very similar to the "Citation Report" in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science.

It is possible to add output splitters for both Web service calls. This adds two components in the workflow, but simplifies the XPath expressions.

    As the Europe PMC Web service is being developed further, this workflow may become obsolete, as in broken or suboptimal. I will try to keep it up-to-date, but feel free to make a comment if you experience problems with it or have suggestions!

This workflow retrieves bibliographic data for a single author using the PMC Europe RESTful Web service and visualizes the geographic distribution of this author's and their co-authors' geographic distribution using the rworldmap package. This is version 2.0 of this workflow, incorporating changes to the Web service allowing up to 1,000 records to be retrieved at once, using the pageSize parameter.

Thumb
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.
