nodalpoint.org - Postgenomic greasemonkey script - Comments

Slight tweak

I added an optional space to the regexp that looks for DOIs so that the script works for Science, too (at least when looking at the full text pages).

Figured I could contribute the easy changes. :) I'm more than happy to further open up Postgenomic to this sort of thing (what's the point of aggregating otherwise?) - just ask if you'd like any particular API functionality implemented. At the moment all you can get is a basic listing of DOIs and PMIDs from the database.

Nice work. Greasemonkey

Nice work. Greasemonkey never really clicked until I installed this script. I had one of those 'a-ha' moments (no, not the 80's pop group). It is nice to see the comments from a particular blog on that paper.

I'm still willing to bet that 'serious' scientific communication will spread-out into the science-blogosphere, eventually. Some time in the next 20 years ?

I should also add that I am part of the problem, I have the technical skills to add support for postgenomic's crawler (rel attributes, dois etc) to Drupal but I just haven't been able to focus on the task long enough to make it happen. My excuse is of course I'm too busy doing 'serious science' at work.

Also, I added a link to the script on the wiki page and a little formatting...

Postgenomic greasemonkey script

I posted a small greasemonkey test script in the wiki to add links to postgenomic into journal webpages. It is more a proof of principle since I was learning how to to do Gresemonkey scripts with this as an example. The idea is simple, go through the webpage in search of a DOI and if this DOI is listed in Postgenomic it adds a link and a small picture next to the DOI to link back to postgenomic. This way when you are browsing the journal you know if someone has talked about it in some blog.
