JournalTOCs API client
This is a very simple wrapper for the JournalTOCs API that exposes methods for searching journals by keyword or ISSN and retrieving articles by journal ISSN.
Installation
$ npm install --save journaltocs
Documentation
The (Journals) API is supported. The other APIs are not supported (if you particularly want them, please open an issue requesting them).
Examples
// load the module
var JournalTOCs = require('journaltocs');
var email = "[email protected]"
var jt = new JournalTOCs(email);
// find journals matching a query
var query = jt.findJournals('bioinformatics');
var bioinf_journals;
query.on('result', function(result) {
// result is an array of objects, one per journal
console.log(result);
bioinf_journals = result;
// get ISSN of the first match
var issn = bioinf_journals[0]['prism:issn'];
});
// get details of the journal
query2 = jt.journalDetails('1460-2059');
query2.on('result', function(result) {
// result is an object with details of the journal
console.log(result.title); // Bioinformatics
});
// get latest articles from the journal
query3 = jt.journalArticles('1460-2059');
query3.on('result', function(result) {
// result is an array of objects, one per article
console.log(result[0]);
});

This is intended to be a lightweight client, so new features should be discussed first on the issue tracker. However, bug reports are welcome.
