I am interested in mining the content of chemical preprints and have a number of questions. * who is running the preprints server/s? The ACS appeared to be involved but now it looks like CUP? Is this a single function/site? What is the history? * CUP seemed to state that there would be an API on day one, but it's not obvious to me * is anyone else interested in mining/indexing content? I would be happy to talk. * is the only format PDF? (I'm resigned to that and can cope) * is machine-processable chemistry of any sort deposited? on any systematic basis? required or optional? * is any material (e.g. chemical structures, spectra, etc. deposited? can it be easily retrieved?
