Europe PMC as a building block for OpenCitations
The Europe PMC REST API is crucial in our workflow, since it allows us to get all the information about OA articles in Europe PMC plus their XML sources. Such sources are the first building block that enable the creation of the OpenCitations Corpus and the Open Biomedical Citations in Context Corpus.
