Structuring bibliographic references: Taking the journal Anais do Museu Paulista to Wikidata

Abstract

This chapter provides a step-by-step process for large-scale contributions of articles from scholarly publications to Wikidata, a collaborative data store project of the Wikimedia Foundation. Tools and processes in Wikidata, Zotero, and Google Sheets in particular are described; they relate both to the Wikidata platform and standard spreadsheet programs. The case of the Brazilian journal Anais do Museu Paulista is used to illustrate the process that can then be replicated with other publications and in other contexts.
