Hi Jon,

I'm very happy with the new features come with BE 905 and 906. However, there's one thing I do not understand: with ctrl+click on a reference I can access directly to PubMed to do "PubMed full text, PubMed linkout and Pubmed related search". Very nice. But this seems to work only for references without any attachments. Why this restriction?

A request that I've posted here some time a go: it would be nice to extend the feature "E-mail..." to "e-mail ref and atttachment(s)"

Best regards,
tom

Hi Tom, there is no such restriction. Check the article in question -- the URL field must contain the path to the article on PubMed (terminated with the PMID) for this to be enabled.

I spent some time on this, but couldn't come up with a universal AE that e-mail clients understand. So it is not implemented. If you know of one, please let me know.

Ah, I see. I have many references directely downloaded from the journals site (without a PubMed search as I receive the table of contents from important journals). Would be nice if BE can create a search for related articles with the data given in the reference...what do others think about that?

Tom, that's what OpenURL can do -- try it.

The PubMed searches require the PMID (PubMed ID), and that's what you get when you download the article information with Bookends from PubMed.
