External retrieval: CiteNPL [external citations]

End-to-end electronic workflow for citing pdf docs

Avoids manual steps:

− informing about the availability of a document in our electronic subscriptions and linking to it

− fetching high quality bibliographic data provided by publishers (using DOIs, OpenURL, PUBMED Ids)

−automatically checking for duplicates in the internal NPL database

−automatically converting the document to our internal formats and loading the data on our systems
