Can you just.. give us the citation data instead? How is this better than ISI and other vendors? Edit: removed some other comments. That's my most important question.
- mhluongo 14y agoI don't mean to be obtuse, but what would that look like? We've been focused on providing a better browsing experience with these citations, but if there's a demand for them in a different format I don't see why we wouldn't provide it.
- kanzure 14y agoI imagine it would look like raw data, probably json. Then you can do the mashups play, etc. I think Elsevier has tried some of that to some success (look at their API docs). Mendeley is also trying this approach and has done fairly well so far.
- mhluongo 14y agoOh! certainly! We're a small startup, and don't quite have the manpower for an API yet- but if we keep moving, we'll get there. I really like what Mendeley has done so far. I've chatted a bit with them about integrating with their API, ourselves- it's a rich data source, and I think we could do some great things.
