As part of my Large Datasets<\/a> campaign, I have now downloaded and processed the latest data from ORCID<\/a>. This yielded\u00a0655,706 people (47,435 or 7% in Wikidata), and\u00a013,438,786 publications (1,079,305 or 8% in Wikidata) with a DOI or PubMed ID (to be precise, these are publications-per-person, so the same paper might be counted multiple times; however, that’s still 1,033,146 unique Wikidata items, so not much of a difference).<\/p>\n

Number of papers, ORCID, first, and last name<\/p><\/div>\n

Looking at the data, there are 14,883 authors, with ten or more papers already on Wikidata<\/em>, that do either not have an item, or their item does not have an ORCID ID associated. So I am now setting a bot (my trusted Reinheitsgebot<\/a>) to work at creating items for those authors, and then changing the appropriate author name string<\/a> statement to author<\/a> proper, preserving qualifiers and references, and adding the original name string as a new qualifier (like so<\/a>).<\/p>\n

By chance, one of the most prolific authors of scientific publications not yet on Wikidata turned out to be a (distant) colleague of mine, Rick Price<\/a>, who is now linked as the author of ~100 papers.<\/p>\n

I have now set the bot to create the author items for the authors with >=10 papers on Wikidata. I am aware that ORCID authorships are essentially “self-reported”, but I do check that a paper if not claimed by two people with the same surname in the ORCID dataset (in which case I pass it over). Please report any systematic (!) bot malfunctions to me through the usual channels.<\/p>\n

Update<\/em>: This will create up to 263,893 new author (P50) links on Wikidata.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
