User-defined source publications
There should be a way to introduce specific publications into the source for a pubfeed (perhaps via a click on search results in a Google Scholar emulation).
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Currently, I don't plan to support user inputted papers because if the search doesn't find a paper then the feed will be empty.
That said, I have set Google Scholar as the default search source. Previously, it was DBLP which is a Computer Science specific database. So you should get better search results for feeds you create now.

Another way to go about this would be to have the possibility, after creating a feed as usual, to do independent searches, from which the results can be added to the feed. This has the advantage that only valid search results will be used to seed the feed. -
I repeat support for my comment above - this would greatly increase usability. After that, an option to hide some of the hits (especially ones seen during previous "populations" of a feed) would help to trim down the list to a useful corpus.

I'll make some time to work on this next week.

Sounds good, thank you!

Inappropriate?Thanks. I think that Google Scholar is a better place to start from for most subjects.

Inappropriate?Another way to reduce the load on Google Scholar while increasing the sensitivity would be to allow eTBLAST results to be imported into pubfeed - these can very easily be tailored. Example at http://invention.swmed.edu/etblast/us... .1 Comment Add a comment

Wow, thats an interesting service. It shouldn't be too hard to import the results after they are calculated. I don't think I could automate the searching though since the results take so long to return.
I was thinking of adding Pubmed as an additional search option too. Between eTBLAST and Pubmed, which do you think would be more useful? -
Inappropriate?They are different, and so both potentially useful for Pubfeed. eTBLAST would be better for the initial seeding and cumbersome for further trimming, while PubMed could go, like Google Scholar or DBLP, for both the initial seeding and the repetitive refinement.
But if you ask for priorities, I would go first for the above-mentioned option of refining a seed corpus with further manual searches. Second would be the option to start from eTBLast, third would be including PubMed (or HubMed).
I would appreciate if you would share some usage stats with me (you have my email), since I have started bringing in some more people here, and plan to intensify this.
