recent total-impact news and api update

[Heather Piwowar]

Hi all, 

First: exciting updates: 

• Heather is working on total-impact full-time as of August 1st!
• Jason is in Vancouver for the next two months of intensive total-impact work.  Megasprint!
• total-impact now supports much larger collections; we've tested up to 400 items per collection.  We still have a bit of work to do to make the collections fast, but those with long lists of DOIs can do some fun experimenting
• we've added some new metrics, including 
• citations by papers in PMC, 
• citations by *review* papers in PMC, 
• citations by *editorials* in PMC, 
• the number of *student readers* in Mendeley (roughly, based on top-three reported job descriptions) 
• the number of Mendeley readers from developing countries (again, roughly)
• a note if an article has been reviewed by F1000

Second:  we've made a change to the api.  It doesn't affect single item embedding;  unless you are using the /items endpoint (and as far as we know, only our webapp uses this at the moment) you won't notice.  Basically, we've replaced the /items endpoint with a new and improved /collection endpoint (almost entirely).  See the api docs for details.

Cheers, 

Heather

Heather,

You are probably aware that the public API on PMC UK data (or Europe PMS as it will be known from November this year) is available:

We are looking forward to pilot/implement total-impact on Pensoft's Journal System (PJS).  Just let me know when the time comes!
