  • ORCID for Wikidata This repository contains scripts to import authors with information about affiliation and education from ORCID database into Wikidata. Afterwards the author items can be connected to their scienctific articles in Wikidata. Background This work is part of the project Nachnutzung von strukturierten Daten aus Wikidata für bibliometrische Analysen. While we find a lot of scientific articles in Wikidata (actually 31,5% (Jan 2020 see Wikidata-statistics)) only 8.9% represent humans in general, not even researchers in particular. Often the publications are not linked to their creators which is a pitty for users of Wikidata. Missing author-items are one reason for this problem. Another issue we see is the frequent absent of relations between the publication and the authors although the author is already listed. To fill this gap and to improve the databasis of Wikidata in general we established a workflow for matching authors and papers applying ORCID data base. Not only bibliometrical analysis would benefit from an improved data basis that connects article-items to their authors-items.
