One example: Here's the citation I have in hand: Noordzij M, Korevaar JC, Boeschoten EW, Dekker FW, Bos WJ, Krediet RT et al. The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) Guideline for Bone Metabolism and Disease in CKD: association with mortality in dialysis patients. American Journal of Kidney Diseases 2005; 46(5):925-932. Here's the output from ParsCit. Note the problem with the article title: <algorithm name="ParsCit" version="1.0"> <citationList> <citation> <authors> <author>M Noordzij</author> <author>Korevaar JC</author> </authors> <volume>2005</volume> <title>Boeschoten EW, Dekker FW, Bos WJ, Krediet RT et al. The Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (K/DOQI) Guideline for Bone Metabolism and Disease in CKD: association with mortality in dialysis patients</title> <journal>American Journal of Kidney Diseases</journal> <pages>46--5</pages> </citation> </citationList> </algorithm> There's more but basically it isn't accurate enough. It's very good but not good enough for what I need at this juncture. OpenURL resolvers like SFX are generally only as good as the metadata they are given to parse. I need a high level of accuracy. Maybe that's a pipe dream. Steve On Fri, Jul 11, 2008 at 2:48 PM, Nate Vack <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Just out of curiosity, what makes parscit not optimal for this > purpose? Is it too slow?
