Pubmed offers a vey useful cited-in search. What would be great is if we could run a similar cited-in directly from Bookends. The easiest way would be just to do the search in Bookends browser, i.e. a context menu item would run a web search. However, what would be even better IMO would be for Bookends to use its wonderful Pubmed browser to run an API search[1], fetching the entries into the pubmed browser.
Reverse citations is one of the most powerful ways of finding related work Academics have. I think many would agree that fast access to papers who have cited another paper would be a great addition to Bookends.

[1] Using the Entrez Elink API, I think the correct URL would be:
Code: Select all
http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&db=pubmed&linkname=pubmed_pubmed_citedin&id=17209741
returns the same 7 PMIDs as the web page does. There are lots of other related items returned if you omit the
linkname selector, which could also be very interesting to present to the user for a mre long term feature request (having a related references panel that visualised all this link information in the UI would be wonderful).
