2015-05-20 Thread Alex Armstrong
Hi list, What are some good API options for retrieving a list of scholarly publications by author? I would like to be able to grab them and display them on a website along with other information about each author. Google Scholar does not have a public API as far as I can tell. CrossRef

Thanks for the responses so far. One thing that I forgot to mention is that the authors I'm going to be needing data for are faculty, librarians and technologists at liberal arts universities. So there's not a whole lot of medicine; which is unfortunate as they seem to have robust APIs in
