Notes
editHow GScholar finds articles and ingests their metadata
- Similar to Dublin Core, but with scholarly publication-specific metadata, e.g. volume/issue/page number
- Sits within article
<meta proprty="citation_*">
tags- Some scope for finding those tags if placed in odd location within page
- Order irrelevant except for author tags
- [action item Thomas] check mediawiki extensions for adding metadata tags to html
- Additional backup, because WJ articles have /XML wikidata page, that can be also checked
- [action item Thomas] check author ordering in XML
GScholar lookuplinks for citation metadata
- Can use reference plaintext in url
- Highlights where a PDF is available to make easier to find open version
- Can simply be added at end of citations
Stardit indexation
- Could conceivably have
citation_stardit_url
metadata item for link to the report - Could allow standard machine-readable way to find the extended stardit data
- [action item Jack] forward stardit beta version summary
For followup discussion and consideration:
- GScholar officially only indexes research, not reference material (which WP articles fall under)
- E.g. specifically does not index WP pages
- Some specialist encyclopedias are indexed, but are all specified exceptions
- Typically because they are specialised, scholarly, cited
- Therefore have to consider whether WJ articles adapted from WP pages get indexed
