[From algorithms to the bench]{style=“color: #666666; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 15pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;”} [Text-mining holds the promise of helping researchers to overcome information overload. It is a familiar premise: an avalanche of scientific knowledge is being produced and shared.

[Scientific communication does not stop at the moment of publication. Scientific discussions in the form of post-publication peer review can provide valuable insights for published articles, bring up an alternative research perspective, or even present updates for published research.

The Collaborative Knowledge Foundation (CoKo) and Europe PMC are excited to announce a new partnership to develop web-based, open source content and workflow management components that will enable ingest and processing of manuscripts. The system will be built on Coko’s PubSweet technology framework and will contribute to the vision of creating modern, digital-first technologies that improve the speed of research.

[The PubMed Central International (PMCI) network is a collaborative effort between the PMCI repositories, publishers, and funding organisations that wish to preserve and provide free access to journal articles authored by the researchers they support. For many years, the PMCI network has consisted of three nodes, PMC USA, Europe PMC and PMC Canada.

[We are excited to announce the launch of Europe PMC Annotations API, which provides programmatic access to annotations text-mined from biomedical abstracts and open access full text articles. The Annotations API is a part of Europe PMC’s programmatic tools suit and is freely available on the Europe PMC website: ]{style=“font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt;

The use of preprints in the life sciences offers tantalising opportunities to change the way research results are communicated and reused, and the work of ASAPbio has been key in engaging the scientific community to promote their uptake.

[What exactly is Europe PMC? How is it different from PubMed Central? What can I do with Europe PMC?]{style=“font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;”} [Those are some of the questions I had myself when I first heard of Europe PMC.

[Europe PMC has a new provider of External Links: links from articles on Europe PMC to related content on 3 ^rd party websites. Our most recent addition provides links from over 300,000 articles to entries in Wikipedia: the free encyclopaedia.

[Peer review is the cornerstone of how we decide what research to publish. As currently implemented, it generally consists of two or three referees giving anonymous comments on a research article prior to publication … or … rejection.

[Our External Links Service enables links to be created from articles on Europe PMC ]{style=“font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;”}[to free third-party resources that enrich our articles. ]{style=“font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;”}[Since launching the service last July we’ve been joined by providers who have set up links to an ever widening range of useful resources,
