Re: [Treebase-devel] searches by doi

[Roderic P. <r....@bi...>]

This was one of the motivations behind setting up the TreeBASE group in Mendeley http://www.mendeley.com/groups/734351/treebase/ .

The idea was to consume TreeBASE papers, then edit the metadata (adding DOIs, PMIDs, etc.). I cleaned up a lot of papers from 2010 and earlier (there were some pretty spectacular examples of references differing wildly from what authors submitted (e.g., if paper ended up in different journal).

Ideally this group would be automatically populated by consuming a feed from TreeBASE, and any edits made in Mendeley could be harvested by TreeBASE. Wouldn't take long to set this up. Limiting factor is people taking time to clean up references, I think I'm the only one of the 140 members of the group to do this :(

But that doesn't always happen. 't any rate, I've now added this DOI -- you should be able to search using it now.
