WikiCite 2016/Proposals/Improving Citable Data via Citoid/Zotero

Proposal edit

Background edit

The Citoid Tool uses Zotero translators to add citation information via identifiers. These currently do not work on many data repositories and even where they do work, metadata is of low quality. I'd like to improve this.

Aim edit

Improve Zotero/Citoid import from DataCite DOIs
Improve import from several key data repositories
Ideally: tweak Citoid to go beyond what Zotero's metadata model allows

Demo edit

Slides from a webinar for Zotero and Data Repositories: https://figshare.com/articles/Zotero_for_Data_Repositories/3364708 (recording forthcoming)

Skills needed edit

basic javascript
Zotero/Citoid familiarity welcome but not required

Phabricator task edit
