Scholia

Scholia is a python package and webapp for interaction with scholarly information in Wikidata.

Webapp

As a webapp, it currently runs from Wikimedia Tool Labs, a facility provided by the Wikimedia Foundation. It is accessible from

https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/

The webapp displays scholarly profiles for individual researchers, research topics, organizations, journals, works, events, awards and so on. For instance, the scholarly profile for psychologist Uta Frith is accessible from

https://tools.wmflabs.org/scholia/author/Q8219

The information displayed on the page is only what is available in Wikidata.

Script

It is possible to use methods of the scholia package as a script:

$ python -m scholia.query twitter-to-q fnielsen
Q20980928

Contributing

A simple way to get up and running is to launch Scholia via Gitpod, which installs the dependencies listed in requirements.txt automatically and launches the web app via runserver.py.

See file CONTRIBUTING.rst for technical details on how to improve Scholia.
