OpenURL Support

Citebase has a resolver that can resolve journal-type OpenURLs to the articles contained in Citebase (where appropriate bibliographic data is provided by authors), or by specifying the OAI indetifier in the 'rft_id' field: http://citebase.eprints.org/cgi-bin/openURL

Citebase has experimental OpenURL support. A "cookie pusher" script is located at http://citebase.eprints.org/cgi-bin/sfx/pushcookie.cgi that will allow you to specify your own OpenURL 1.0 resolver, otherwise click here to set Citebase as your OpenURL target (you will be redirected back to this page).

Alternatively if you use the OpenURL Referrer plug-in for Mozilla Firefox you should find OpenURL links appear in Citebase.

Accessing Citebase Data

You can download metadata from Citebase using the OAI 2 interface (http://citebase.eprints.org/cgi-bin/oai2). If you would like to get more direct access to the data please contact me at the address below stating what data you would like (e.g. citation links, paper citation impact scores, Web download data) and the format you would find most convenient (Citebase runs on MySQL). While I appreciate that you may not know what you need until you get it, only asking whether you can use the data isn't very useful!

If you don't want to use the data directly (which would require processing the data yourself), I'm open to suggestions for facilities that would make analysing the records available in Citebase easier. I have written various scripts for producing graphs, correlations etc.
