Motivation edit

ScienceDirect is a website that serves scientific research papers. It links various papers and their parts to machine-learning-derived topics that are then summarized on web pages.

An external ID would be useful for possibly exploring these topics for bibliographic purposes.

The Source MetaData WikiProject does not exist. Please correct the name.
