Task/s: Adding Crossref ID, DOI, Print ISSN, and Online ISSN from Crossref dataset where they are missing in Wikidata.
Code:
Code to generate dataset: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/webrunner95/wikisignals/-/blob/main/notebooks/JournalDataAnalysis.ipynb?ref_type=heads
Function details: This bot will update:
- 4,996 items for academic/scientific journals where the CrossRef ID is missing in Wikidata,
- 23,938 items for academic/scientific journals where the DOI is missing in Wikidata,
- 1,502 items for academic/scientific journals where the electronic ISSN is missing in Wikidata, and
- 3,813 items for academic/scientific journals where the print ISSN is missing in Wikidata.
The above dataset is based on Crossref and a SPARQL query from Wikidata for academic journals (Q737498) and scientific journals (Q5633421).
Matching entities between Wikidata and Crossref was determined by matching based on the Crossref ID or at least one of the following: the DOI, a print ISSN or an electronic ISSN.
