Sophie, I've never tried this before, but it looks like PubMed supports OAI-PMH harvesting, so you should be able to configure DSpace to harvest content from PubMed via OAI-PMH. Here's the details from the PubMed website:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/tools/oai/ It says the base URL you'd want to use is http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/oai/oai.cgi It also has some examples of OAI requests to PubMed: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/tools/oai_examples/ Hopefully that will help you out. - Tim On 5/22/2012 3:47 PM, Deng, Sai wrote: > Hi, > > Can anyone give me an example of harvesting PubMed publications from a > specific institution?
