Postgenomics script for Firefox
I am playing around with greasemonkey to try to add links to Postgenomic to journal websites. The basic idea is to search the webpage you are seeing (like a Nature website for example) for papers that have been talked about in blogs and are tracked by Postgenomic. When one is found a little picture is added with a link to the Postgenomic page talking about the paper.
The result is something like this (in the case of the table of contents):
Or like this when viewing the paper itself:
In another journal:
I am more comfortable with Perl, but anyway I think it works as a proof or principle. If Stew agrees I'll probably post the script in Nodalpoint for people to improve or just try it out.

great idea! I would be gald to try that out.
eheh Eu sabia que aquilo me soava a algo já feito... :) Mas é sp bom ter as ideias independentemente...
So, does your index correctly identify papers written by authors who change their name? See http://lablemminglounge.blogspot.com/2006/09/playing-name-game.html for an example...
That is a very interesting example you posted in your comment but I can't see the connection to postgenomic. Postgenomic was not created by me and it aims to collect blog posts about scientific papers, conferences and research.
Do you mind if I adapt and redistribute your code for chemical blogspace? I will give full credit to you, of course.
baoilleach: You probably should have a look in the Postgenomic help site for more sophisticated examples. In any case, you are free to use it of course. For future reference, anyone potentially interested can take and re-use the code with no restrictions.
Thanks!...you can see the result here:
