Publication Retrieval

In the Query view, the list of publications is presented. This list contains all the publications that were selected from PubMed using the original query. In this step, it is possible to select what are the publications the user really wants to retrieve to the project. Each line of the view's table, corresponds to one publication, and contains the title, author's list and date of the publication.

If this information is not sufficient for the user to decide if he/she wants to get the publication, more detailed information about a publication can be viewed by clicking on the left most side button on the publication's row.

Let us now define how the user can retrieve the documents from the editor's sites (when these are available according to the user's permissions). By default, all the publications in the Query are selected, but the user can select the intended publications. If the Journal Retrival (bottom right) option is selected, the application will invoke the Journal Retrieval operation.

The Journal Retrieval operation will try to find, on the Web, the PDFs of the selected publications. For each document found, the application will download it to the project's local directory and this PDFs will be available for future work.
