Our matcher creates a query string for a particular journal based on the author and the title, like so: `http://api.crossref.org/journals/1553-7390/works?sort=score&order=desc&query=Baker+Functional+divergence+of+NRC+TR+as+a+modulator+of+pluripotentiality+during+hominid+evolution`\r\n\r\nUsually, this gives us very accurate results, with results scoring higher than 3.0 being near perfect matches.
