Analysing publications and funding with the Europe PMC REST API
Europe PMC is a database of life science publications and preprints. Articles in Europe PMC are enriched with additional resources, such as author, funding and affiliation information, citations and links to data, peer reviews and more.
In this webinar, we will explain how to programmatically access publications and related information using the Europe PMC Articles RESTful API. Michael Parkin, Data Scientist at Europe PMC, will demonstrate how to access the API using the browser and provide some scripting examples in Python/R. He will outline different API methods, rules for filtering and pagination, as well as output formats. Following on, Antonio Campello, Senior Data Scientist at the Wellcome Trust, will explain how Wellcome uses Europe PMC APIs to gain insights into the outputs of the research they fund. He will discuss several use cases, including charting Wellcome’s research portfolio, developing novel technologies to link grants to academic publications, and tracking which grants have been influential to the COVID-19 literature.
