This code is currently under development. The goal is to bring together APIs and/or scrapers for working with publication websites (and related material).
When I have some functional examples of this in action I'll add them!
Roadmap:
- expose Pubmed (started)
- CrossRef
- ElSevier API
- other publishers?
- Mendeley Client
