APIs, short for application programming interface, are tools used to share content and data between software applications. Many scholarly publishers, databases, and products offer APIs to allow researchers with programming skills to more powerfully extract data to serve a variety of research purposes. With an API, users might create programmatic searches of a citation database, extract statistical data, or mine full-text articles for content.
This session, offered by the MIT Libraries' Office of Scholarly Publishing, Copyright, and Licensing, will give a brief overview of some of the scholarly research APIs available to the MIT community and will feature MIT faculty and students whose current research work utilizes APIs and similar tools.
Speakers include:
Christian Catalini, Assistant Professor of Technological Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Strategic Management, MIT Sloan School of Management
Edward Kim, PhD student, MIT Dept. of Materials Science & Engineering
Jorge Arturo Guzman, PhD student, MIT Sloan School of Management
