CAYdenberg / monocle

Search and Serve Open Access articles from PMC and render with Lens.

Monocle

The goal of this project is to build reading and searching tools for the scientific literature based around open-access, online content. We have integrated eLife Lens with the open-access portion of the PubMed Central database, and have built a Javascript search module for PubMed's Eutils API.

This project uses parts of http://github.com/ivangrub/oa-sandbox but is built using Node, the Express framework, Bower, and Gulp.
