Hi Dan, Thanks for taking the time to share this. On closer inspection it looks like Academic Search is a research project rather than a product; one that has stalled, concluded or been abandoned. I was just looking at what sources ImpactStory indexes. For scholarly publications they seem

I've been doing a lot of work lately with EuropePMC's API - http://europepmc.org/RestfulWebService It's been super useful for my purposes, though I've been searching based on article DOIs, not on authors. You might need to do a bit more parsing of the results to make sure you don't have false hits

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
