Opportunity to improve parsing of citation (DWC: namePublishedIN) field #1343

Closed mattbuys closed 6 months ago

mattbuys commented 6 months ago

Current field contains:

  1. year,
  2. sometimes authors (often as part of an "In: " statement),
  3. name/volume/page of publication.

There's no easy way to atomise these three elements. Any suggestions?

Maybe for DWC export use namePublishedInYear for point 1

DwC does not handle parsed citations. If you want that please use the richer ColDP format!

... there surely is room for better extracting of publication information from authorships. But that is rather difficult & error prone, so we haven't made that a high priority for now. Ideally it is already supplied in a parsed way or at least with a DOI so we can lookup metadata in external services like CrossRef.
