Search google scholar for the PDF loaded into Beagle, and the reveal the "cited by" information.

Have:

Need:

1. Reliable way to identify the PDF for a service like, say, Google Scholar.

• Getting unique identification of a paper from the PDF text and meta data. For example, extracting direct paper title.
  • grab the top text of the page.
  • meta data could be useful.
  • font size.
  • DOI -> database query -> direct title. For example, Alt Metrics.

Consideration: These can be organized into npm modules

DOI-->PubMed
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/pmctopmid/

We can use this to extract titles from DOI's, if the article is in pubmed.

Would be one of multiple ways to get title and author data from a PDF, without relying on detailed PDF parsing.

Maybe it is possible to search Scholar by DOI:

We should have multiple ways to get a scholar search going from a PDF-in-browser... could include getting the title via the PDF, via pubmed, via other sources and searching scholar for the title... could also include direct scholar search of the DOI...?

I am not sure the above search scholar by DOI thing really is something that works well... got to test it.

http://www.crossref.org/

is probably the best solution for DOI --> metadata
