Auto-code fields by journal using the Electronic Journals Library #59

Open LukasRoeseler opened 2 months ago

LukasRoeseler commented 2 months ago

Currently, fields are not objective and overlap (e.g., psychology AND social psychology). I suggest we use Journal names to automatically code fields via the EZB and their coded variable "Subject": https://ezb.uni-regensburg.de/index.phtml?bibid=ULBMS&colors=7&lang=en

Interesting idea - but won't that give us very generic fields for generalist journals? I'd find it worthwhile to be able to assign distinct fields to NHB papers, for instance ... but this can maybe provide an alternative / start for manual refinement?

(In that particular example, the Subject coding in the library is also off - NHB is not really about nature and conservation, so we might need to check the validity of that data)
