Are There Apis Supplied By Web Of Knowledge

dear guys,

As a developer, we can use open platform from twitter, Facebook, and github. We can also use eutility of PubMed. Does Web of Knowledge supply some APIs for developer?

title:The ubiquitin-proteasome system and the autophagic-lysosomal system in Alzheimer disease. doi: 10.1101/cshperspect.a006361.

If you have one paper, how to acquire the information that which paper cite it?

Thanks a lot !

pubmed

I'm not sure if that has changed recently, but the last time I've checked WoK's API was limited to fields such as article title, authors, source data, author supplied keywords (see: http://wokinfo.com/products_tools/products/related/webservices/ ). You can try to query Google Scholar, although I'm not sure how to do that programmatically - there's no API (on the other hand a software such as Publish or Perish exists and provides the citation metrics automatically).

EDIT: To make things clear: there are probably several automated and free ways (other than WoK and GS) of obtaining citations for some papers. WoK and GS are probably the most complete databases.

as u said, WOS only return five fields( Authors,Article Title,Source,Keywords,UT ). The wos is so mean. ^_^

Short answer - you can do this with Pubmed, or with Scopus, if your institution has access.

Maybe I got the question wrong, but did the original poster asked about references in the paper or its citations (manuscripts that cite the paper)?

hi, thanks for your answer, but it's not the right answer. I really need some api . If I get one DOI, I could fetch the information that which paper cite it .

I found a doc from WOS,We can use ARM to acquire the following information:

• Article Match Retrieval Service allows a real-time lookup of bibliographic metadata such as DOI, author, source title, etc., against the Web of Science database (using the institution's subscription entitlements)

• If a match is found, the service will return:

– Times Cited information

– Link to the Full Record

– Link to Related Records

– Link to Citing Articles page

– Link to Journal Citation Reports 5-year Impact Factor trend graph
