I'm back working at ContentMine, as Wikimedian in Residence , on the
ScienceSource project, which is the sequel to WikiFactMine. We started in June,
and yesterday launched our first participatory subproject. (The ScienceSource
wiki is coming along, but will not be active for a little while yet.)
The landing page for the ScienceSource focus list is at
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:ScienceSource_focus_list
and that page has a couple of videos that start in at a very basic level. There
is also some general discussion today on Wikipedia, at WT:MED, from the
perspective of medical editors. The overall aim of ScienceSource is to give
proper technical support to those who want to edit Wikipedia medical articles.
There is a barrier to entry, namely the WP:MEDRS guideline on reliable sources
in the health area. It is quite an education to try to understand it, from a
standing start.
To add a biomediical paper to the focus list, which currently has about 600
papers, you need to add a P5008 statements to the paper's Wikidata item, with
object ScienceSource (Q55439927). More detailed instructions are on the page,
and the list can be viewed using a query on its talk page.
We are looking to collect 30K relevant open access papers, with good coverage
of medical conditions. Please have a go yourself, and forward this mail to
anyone you think might be interested. Those with suggestions who don't want to
work on Wikidata can use the talk page to make them. Wikimedians, medical
experts, librarians, all are welcome.
