Question

the Paper Link for PubMed is a extension of chrome.

This extension can fetch the data of Faculty 1000.

I would appreciate if anyone tell me the method to show the F1000 comments of citation.

As it says in the description

This extension is built using APIs from http://www.thepaperlink.com, http://www.pubmeder.com and PubMed eUtils.

• Source of this extension is at https://github.com/coronin/thepaperlink-chrome
• Please visit the Options page (Tools - Extensions ...) to unleash the power of this extension.

So, you have to dig more by yourself in the API's to find the answer, how its linked to F1000. I just grabbed the latest source and search for the 'F1000' keyword and found in the contentscript.js javascript file, which I assume redirects the user to F1000 score url of the paper's PMID found using one of the code in paperlink's API.

if (r.item[i].f_v && r.item[i].fid) {
div_html += '<a id="thepaperlink_f' + pmid +
 '" class="thepaperlink-red" href="' + p + 'http://f1000.com/' +
 uneval_trim(r.item[i].fid) + '" target="_blank">f1000 score ' +
 uneval_trim(r.item[i].f_v) + '</a>';
}

Cheers
