Chapter 2 Introduction

2.1 User interface

Functions in fulltext are setup to make the package as easy to use as possible. The functions are organized around use cases:

• Search for articles
• Get full text links
• Get articles
• Get abstracts
• Pull out article sections of interest

Because there are so many data sources for scholarly texts, it makes a lot of sense to simplify the details of each data source, and present a single user interface to all of them.
