WikiProject COVID-19 Open task list

Work on enhancing scientific journal articles on COVID-19

Use this query from WikiProject COVID-19 to find scientific journal articles that have at least one of the main subject (P921): SARS-CoV-2 (Q82069695), COVID-19 (Q84263196), COVID-19 pandemic (Q81068910)

The following query uses these:

• Items: SARS-CoV-2 (Q82069695)   , COVID-19 (Q84263196)   , COVID-19 pandemic (Q81068910)   , scholarly article (Q13442814)   

• Properties: instance of (P31)   , main subject (P921)   , publication date (P577)   

  SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?pdate
  {
    VALUES ?topics { wd:Q82069695 wd:Q84263196 wd:Q81068910 } 
    ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q13442814.
    ?item wdt:P921 ?topics.
    OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P577 ?pdate }
    SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" } .
  }

Add missing authors to scientific journal articles on COVID-19

1. Find scientific journal articles lacking authors that have at least one of the main subject (P921): SARS-CoV-2 (Q82069695), COVID-19 (Q84263196), COVID-19 pandemic (Q81068910)

The following query uses these:

• Items: SARS-CoV-2 (Q82069695)   , COVID-19 (Q84263196)   , COVID-19 pandemic (Q81068910)   , scholarly article (Q13442814)   

• Properties: instance of (P31)   , main subject (P921)   , author name string (P2093)   , publication date (P577)   

  SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?pdate
  {
    VALUES ?topics { wd:Q82069695 wd:Q84263196 wd:Q81068910 } 
    ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q13442814.
    ?item wdt:P921 ?topics.
    ?item wdt:P2093 ?authorstring .
    OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P577 ?pdate }
    SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" } .
  }
  ORDER BY ?pdate

2. Search for the author names found in author name string (P2093) in Wikidata to see if an item already exists for the author.

• At this point, it may be useful to search for an open-access copy of the article, or to search the article title in your library's catalog to see if you have access to a PDF or other full text, because the article may contain an individual author's ORCiD ID or affiliations. These may help you to confirm a match between an author name string and a Wikidata item. Or, you may want to add this information to a new Wikidata item.

3. If you find an item, proceed to step 4. If you don't find an item, create one for the author. See Stanford's Wikidata Working Group's data model for faculty to find appropriate properties to add to the item.

4. Add author (P50) with the Wikidata item you have found or created for the author and qualify it with series ordinal (P1545) and the author's position. If the author's name appears differently on the publication than on the author's label, you can add the name as it appears on the publication using the qualifier object named as (P1932).

5. Remove the author's name string statement from the author name string (P2093).

Add missing authors to scientific journal articles on COVID-19 using the Author Disambiguator Tool

1. Find scientific journal articles lacking authors that have at least one of the main subject (P921): SARS-CoV-2 (Q82069695), COVID-19 (Q84263196), COVID-19 pandemic (Q81068910)

The following query uses these:

• Items: SARS-CoV-2 (Q82069695)   , COVID-19 (Q84263196)   , COVID-19 pandemic (Q81068910)   , scholarly article (Q13442814)   

• Properties: instance of (P31)   , main subject (P921)   , author name string (P2093)   , publication date (P577)   

  SELECT DISTINCT ?item ?itemLabel ?pdate
  {
    VALUES ?topics { wd:Q82069695 wd:Q84263196 wd:Q81068910 } 
    ?item wdt:P31 wd:Q13442814.
    ?item wdt:P921 ?topics.
    ?item wdt:P2093 ?authorstring .
    OPTIONAL { ?item wdt:P577 ?pdate }
    SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en" } .
  }
  ORDER BY ?pdate

2. Search for the author by first and last name found in author name string (P2093) in the Author Disambiguator Tool.

3. Choose "Fuzzy match" and then click "Look for author" button.

4. Potential publications are found. Under "Group 1" click "Uncheck all," so that you can verify author matches.

5. Look at each publication to determine if the publication author matches the Wikidata item the tool has found in the "Match?" column. Clicking the matched name string link takes you to a page with a link to the Wikidata item as well as the author's publications.

6. If you can verify that the publication belongs to the match, click the checkbox beside the name string in the "Authors (identified)" column.

7. Once you have gone through the publications, choose the QID for the author to match the publications with in the "Potential author items" section.

8. Click "Link works to selected author" button.

Add your local hospitals to Wikidata

1. Search Wikidata to see if your local hospitals already have items.

2. Create an item with label, aliases, and description or enhance one.

3. Possible properties to include:

Cradle Templates

The Cradle Tool provides you with a template to create certain types of items. There are templates for adding authors, journals, and articles that you may find helpful. Note that the template does not allow you to add references, so once you have created your item using the template, you'll need to add references to it.
