EPMC Get References

Get the reference list (bibliography) of a specific paper from Europe PMC. Given a PubMed ID (PMID), returns all articles cited BY that paper (its reference list). This is the reverse of citations: instead of finding who cites a paper, find what papers it cites. Essential for understanding a paper's intellectual foundations, finding seminal works, and tracing research lineage. Use PMID from EuropePMC search results.
