[Wikimediauk-l] ScienceSource launches its focus list

2018-07-11 Thread Charles Matthews
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.
