citation-jsThis plugin makes use of the Literature Citation Exporter web service, which takes a PubMed or PubMed Central identifier and returns CSL.
In 2022, NCBI added a rate limit to the API that this plugin uses to get metadata from PubMed Central and PubMed identifiers. This rate limit forbids concurrent requests, and allows no more than 3 requests per second. For more information, see https://api.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/lit/ctxp/.
Install
npm install @citation-js/plugin-pubmedUse
Install the plugin by require-ing it:
require('@citation-js/plugin-pubmed')It can then be used in two ways. PubMed Central identifiers are easy to recognize and the following code can be used:
const citejs = require('@citation-js/core')
require('@citation-js/plugin-csl')
require('@citation-js/plugin-pubmed')
citejs.Cite.async('PMC6613236')
.then(Cite =>
console.log(Cite.format('bibliography', {template: 'vancouver'}))
)
For PubMed identifiers, which are just numbers, one way is to just tell it is a PubMed identifier:
const citejs = require('@citation-js/core')
require('@citation-js/plugin-csl')
require('@citation-js/plugin-pubmed')
citejs.Cite.async('31209238', {forceType: '@pubmed/id'})
.then(Cite =>
console.log(Cite.format('bibliography', {template: 'vancouver'}))
