Where can I find Open Archive Identifier (OAI) identifier for an article archived in Europe PMC. 

For example, what is the OAI identifier for this article and where can I get it?


Thanks

Dear Alex,
unfortunately Europe PMC does not provide a way to determine OAI identifier for publications. Our OAI service is a copy of the same service from PMC USA. Currently we are experiencing issues with OAI service stability that have not been resolved. We would recommend either using the PMC service (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/tools/oai/) or using a different method to retrieve metadata from Europe PMC.
Best wishes,
Maria
