Hello Dan,
I like the idea of a more user friendly citing extension. However, a
few points:
1- AJAX... Sweet, nice, and all that. Completely unusable if you
have javascript turned off, or if you're using keyboard only to
navigate, or use a screenreader. Not saying not to use it, but
provide a non-AJAX alternative. Accessibility and usability are
important.
Check.
2- Don't assume that everyone who would use the
extension has access to PubMed.
Uh? I assume they have access to the internet... hence PubMed. They
may not have access to the articles themselves, but that is not
necessary for citation purposes.
3- Don't assume that all articles are available
through PubMed. I've
access to PubMed myself, but many research articles I am routinely
hunting for aren't available, nor referenced, on that system,
Check!
So, there you go, my 2 devaluated cents ;)
At least your exports will be boosted!
Good luck and happy hunting
Cheers,
Dan.
