Many More DOIs

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

Thanks to crossref’s excellent OpenURL interface, we’ve been able to find quite a few DOIs for records in our reference databases which previously had none.

More precisely:

Using the Google Books API we also managed to add links to book previews for many of our reference records.

So if you know the journals but haven’t checked out the reference databases yet: they just got a little more useful.

New export format for references

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

We just added a new export format for our reference databases: TEI biblStruct elements.

This format is currently only available via the unAPI interface, but could easily be made available from the search results pages as well, as for the WALS references. Any opinions on that?

15,000 relativity references in database

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

With today’s publication, the Living Reviews reference database contains more than 15,000 citations of resources in the field of relativity.

These references are carefully selected by our authors and collected from all articles published in Living Reviews in Relativity.

Cross-linked from the database to their point of reference in each article, and linked to available resources online, they provide a valuable tool for scientists.

A web interface to the database includes several search strategies. Various bibliographic export formats allow easy transfer to researchers’ own reference collections.
