Type of session:

Abstract:

Scholia is a tool that generates scholarly profiles that provide windows into Wikidata's research-related content.

It can be used to get an overview about a specific aspect of research, e.g. a topic, a research institution or a biological species. It can also facilitate several forms of deeper engagement with some such aspects, and it can assist groups in prioritizing edits, identifiying gaps and coordinating activities.

In this workshop, participants will learn how Scholia works, how it can be used, how it interacts with Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia and other parts of the Wikimedia landscape. Special attention will be given to community structures like WikiProjects and how they can integrate Scholia with their workflows.
