Nice to see. But note "free" not "open" according to

http://royalsociety.org/about-us/website/terms-conditions/

The metadata would make a great exercise set for BibSoup. 
But it is not clear to me from http://royalsocietypublishing.org/search how we should go about gaining
access in bulk.
Anybody willing to do an IsItOpenData exercise for the bulk metadata, and try to obtain some agreement 
to access it on an ongoing basis?
