[Open-access] Trying to index the malaria literature for BOAI-Openness - what has to be done paper-by-paper?

[Tom Olijhoek]

Hi All,

Do I understand it right that you did a search for just *one keyword
"malaria"*?
PMR says that MW gave >70K references
I thought that Mark extracted >70K references using the *set of
keywords*provided by us (MW)?
This is of no consequence to the observation that google search seems to do
a good job.
We recently had a discussion (Mark, Tom , Bart, Serge [admin MW]) that the
MW ref database of 2010-2011 will be compared to the pmc exracted
references for these years to see how identical the sets are.
That will be the basis for an extraction over a long time period using the
chosen keywords.
When you can use Google to sort the CC-BY and CC-0 it would be fantastic!

TOM
