Possible to add Lattes ID to new author shortcuts? #155

Open lubianat opened 3 years ago

lubianat commented 3 years ago

Hello,

I have been using Author Disambiguator to map researchers from Brazil, and we are currently trying to scale up and map all Brazilian bioinformaticians via Wikidata.

All researchers in Brazil need a Lattes ID to get grants, and it is a rather good database (a bit old school, but lots of information). Some older researchers have a Lattes ID, but no VIAF/ORCID/Research Gate.

Would it be possible to add a Lattes ID to the shortcuts for new authors? This simple new field would already improve a lot the quality of quick new author creation. The property is: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1007

There is no good URL for search, though, the site is just manually navigable (I think): http://buscatextual.cnpq.br/buscatextual/busca.do

@lubianat great suggestion - this also fits in with #154 which I was planning to start looking into - i.e. moving the list of properties used in various contexts to some configuration files rather than embedding them all over the php. I'll definitely look at adding P1007 as I work on that.
