Method Details

search

public Collection<String> search(Collection<String> searchTerms,
 int maxResults)
                          throws IOException

Gets all the pubmed ID's that would be returned given a list of input terms, using two eUtil calls.

Parameters:

searchTerms - search terms

Returns:

The PubMed ids (as strings) for the search results.

Throws:

IOException - IO problems

search

public Collection<String> search(String searchQuery,
 int maxResults)
                          throws IOException

Gets all the pubmed ID's that would be returned from a pubmed search string, using two eUtil calls.

Parameters:

searchQuery - - what would normally be typed into pubmed search box for example "Neural Pathways"[MeSH]

Returns:

The PubMed ids (as strings) for the search results.

Throws:

IOException

searchAndRetrieve

public Collection<BibliographicReference> searchAndRetrieve(String searchQuery,
 int maxResults)
                                                     throws IOException

Search based on terms and retrieve the PubMed records.

This is more efficient than calling search(String, int) and then retrieve(Collection) as it bypasses the intermediary query to get PubMed IDs.

Parameters:

searchQuery - search terms

Returns:

BibliographicReference representing the publication

Throws:

IOException

retrieve

@Nullable
public BibliographicReference retrieve(String pubMedId)
                                throws IOException

Retrieve a single PubMed record by ID.

Throws:

IOException
