Transpose Peer Review properties edit

Originally proposed at Wikidata:Property proposal/Creative work

   Not done
DescriptionTranspose has a set of metadata about journals classifying aspects of their peer review process. Most of these don't yet exist in WD.
Data typeString
Domainaspect
Allowed valueslists of allowed values
Example 1MISSING
Example 2MISSING
Example 3MISSING
Sourcehttps://transpose-publishing.github.io/#/
Planned useadding data from the Transpose project to ~4k journals that are on WikiData
Number of IDs in source1-4k
Expected completenessalways incomplete (only for journals that disclose peer review processes)

Motivation edit

The Transpose project is a A database of journal policies on peer review, co-reviewing, and preprinting. This includes whether peer review is part of the publishing process, what sort of review, and the date of the last self-report of third-party check. These are important parameters to know when evaluating the reliability of journals. Some of these may be equivalent to existing properties, but most don't exist. Is it appropriate to propose these one at a time, or as a group?

Discussion edit

  •   Comment In most cases like this we would just attach the ID used by the project (1 property) and point people to the metadata there, rather than copying all the data into Wikidata. Wikidata doesn't have a boolean datatype, for example, which some of these would be. ArthurPSmith (talk) 17:59, 8 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    So the property might be "TransposeID" with an associated URL? How to specify that this ID is related to peer-review metadata? I see that's how we do it for Sherpa-Romeo metadata. At what point does an individual metadata field in that schema become important enough that we want to include it directly in the Wikidata fields about a journal?

    @Sj: You could call it "Transpose Peer Review ID", or if "TransposeID" is the term used by the project that might be more appropriate as the main label and just describe it well in the description field. If there seems a real use case for re-use of the metadata from Wikidata rather than via a redirect to another site then maybe it would be worth having that data here - you'd have to argue the case (and each piece of metadata might need a different use case/argument).

  • Can you move this to out of "Wikidata:Property proposal/" and formulate proposals once you know what you are looking for? You can do several on the same page. --- Jura 12:36, 11 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • I agree with Jura, that this looks like it isn't yet in a state for a good property proposal. Maybe have a discussion page on Wikiproject SourceMetadata? String is the wrong datatype for list of possible states. The datatype likely should be item. Maybe create test items on test.wikidata.org? ChristianKl15:48, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
