Could Microsoft Academic be a new data source for VIVO? We are always looking for new data sources for VIVO–Microsoft Academic has an open API and documentation encouraging reuse of the data they have assembled. Their API meets several important criteria for VIVO: 1) It is "open" – you can make open queries up to some limits and then pay fees for higher volume. 2) It identifies works, people and institutions using its own internally consistent keys, 3) Given information about a person, or a collection of people, it can find publications that have a high probability of being authored by those people. You may want to take a look at http://academic.microsoft.com At the present time it is difficult to determine what fees might apply for use of the API in particular institution settings.
Mark your calendars–abstracts for presentations, workshops, posters and demos for the 8th Annual VIVO Conference are due by March 26, 2017!
