Hi, I actually need to download pdfs through R code. The thing which I want to do is that, search for a paper in pubmed, which is possible by using GetPubMed function in the package "NCBI2R?". GetPubMed(searchterm, file = "", download = TRUE , showurl = FALSE, xldiv = ";", hyper = "HYPERLINK", MaxRet = 30000, sme = FALSE, smt = FALSE, quiet = TRUE, batchsize=500,descHead=FALSE) With this function I can not download the pdfs for all hits, although if I go to the pubmed, I can download it. So, the problem is not that, for each paper I have to download the pdfs (which are available if I go to the pubmed and search directly there) and the corresponding supplementary files. Could anybody please help me how I can solve this? Thanks, Nooshin

Hi Nooshin, NCBI2R is a CRAN package, not BioC. You should either contact the maintainer directly, or ask on R-help.

Hi Jim, I know, but I sent to bioc if anybody in this list knows any bioc package which is helpful in my case. Thanks, Nooshin On 1/15/2013 2:56 PM, James W.

Sorry, not sure why references[1] were added automatically to html links within the code, but this reply should work if you copy and paste (I hope).

Hi Chris , I'm so thankful for your very nice explanation and clue. I will come back to you if I have more questions or problem in the code. Many thanks!

Hi Chris, Actually what you told is working perfectly for the PMC ids, but not PM ids. Like if I need to get the PDFs for this PM ids : 10417722, what should I do? From my institute, I'm allowed to download papers from various journals, and the problem is now, I can only get the papers annotated with PMC ids but not with PM ids. I download this file, PMC-ids.csv, even the above PM ids is not listed in this file. I don't know if there is anyway possible to download the pdfs and supplementary files which are not publicly available but are available through the network from my institute? Or through the PM ids? I have all PMids that I need to get the pdfs. I need to automate it. I would be thankful if anybody can give me some hints or help.

Actually what you told is working perfectly for the PMC ids, but not PM ids.

There are a few ways to get PMC ids from pubmed ids using E-utilities and the genomes package. # E-link - for a list of links see subset( einfo("pubmed", links=TRUE), DbTo=="pmc") # dbfrom = pubmed by default. elink(14769935, dbto="pmc", cmd="neighbor", linkname="pubmed_pmc") [1] 357076 # = PMC357076 # or if no PMC id available elink(10417722, dbto="pmc", cmd="neighbor", linkname="pubmed_pmc") numeric(0) # or use E-fetch and get the abstract - the PMCID is listed before the PMID and you could use grep to grab that. Again pubmed is the default db efetch(14769935, rettype="abstract") [26] "PMCID: PMC357076" [27] "PMID: 14769935 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]" # or get XML from efetch x <- efetch(14769935, retmode="xml") doc<-xmlParse(x) # requires XML package xpathSApply(doc, '//ArticleId[@IdType="pmc"]', xmlValue) [1] "PMC357076" If the Pubmed Id is not linked to PMC, you could read the Pubmed results page and check if there is a link to a full text article from the publisher. url <- [1]"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=10417722" doc <- xmlParse(url) ## the results page includes a namespace, so queries look awful xpathSApply(doc, '//x:div[@class="icons"]/x:div/x:a', xmlGetAttr, "href", namespaces = c("x" = [2]"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml")) [1] [3]"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/resolve/openurl?genre=article&si d=nlm:pub med&issn=0960-7412&date=1999&volume=19&issue=1&spage=9" You could read that link and find another link to download the pdf , which is probably different for each publisher...
