;;; Commentary:
;;* Introduction
;; This document is an experiment at creating a literate program to provide
;; functions for interacting with pubmed databases.
;; This library provides links that go to pubmed resources, e.g.
;; pmcid:PMC3498956
;;
;; pmid:23162369
;;
;; and nihmsid:NIHMS395714
;;
;; See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/about/public-access-info/#p3 for details
;; of these identifiers.
;;
;; For PMID there is one interactive function that inserts a bibtex entry:
;; pubmed-insert-bibtex-from-pmid.
;; This library is complementary to [[./doi-utils.org]].
;;; Code:
;;* PMID (from PubMed) link and functions
;; A PMID is a number that identifies an entry in the Pubmed database. The PMID
;; is a unique reference number for PubMed citations. The PMID is a distinctly
;; different number from the PMCID and is used only for PubMed records.
