Open access (OA) publisher Public Library of Science (PLoS) has announced that the new PLoS Search API (Application Programming Interface) allows anyone to build their own applications for the web, desktop or mobile devices using PLoS content.
The new Search API gives developers access to rich data that can be flexibly integrated into applications and websites. It allows PLoS content to be queried using any of the fields in the PLoS Search Engine.
By opening up content and data through this API, PLoS seeks to encourage the development of more tools that will improve the way PLoS users discover and interact with PLoS content, as well as their own.
