Author Publications and Citations by Year ... (1)

• 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 REST 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 JSONPath is here used to only look up citing articles for cited work...

UniProt Protein Protein Network (1)

• Download

This workflow uses the Europe PMC Web Services searchPublications and getDatabaseLinks to reconstruct a protein-protein network based on co-occurence in the scientific literature, arbitrary filtered by a PubMed query, e.g. the word "complex" appearing in the title or abstract. The workflow also looks up the second degree connections, i.e. proteins co-occuring with proteins co-occuring with the protein given as input, but not with this protein itself. The output is a (1) Pajek graph file, a GM...

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.

Get ENSEMBL cross-references for UniProt IDs (1)

• Download

This small workflow uses the PICR (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/picr/) WDSL Web Service to look up ENSEMBL (ENSP) cross-references for UniProt IDs. The input is a list of UniProt IDs and the output a corresponding list of ENSEMBL IDs. This instance of the workflow specifically uses the ENSEMBL_HUMAN database and taxonID 9606 (Homo sapiens).

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...

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 ...

Make Groups for Tutorial (2)

• Download

The workflow pairs people from two groups of equal size into the same number of pairs with one member from each group. This is done randomly, using the random.org randomization engine, which in turn is based on atmospheric radio noise.
