thoughts from Wednesday, October 27, 2021

Nick populated a sample paper that's in the Taylor and Francis system (see sample_taylor_francis_paper).

Nick also populated a sample paper that's not (see sample_lost_paper)

Finally, Nick downloaded the abstracts for the two missing volumes

Nick's speculation:

• the pdf of the html contains most information and will be straightforward to curate
• the metadata is most important to put into a form that is accessible
  • title
  • author information (each author and affiliation)
  • volume
  • issue
  • abstract

Proposal: grab pdf and html of the archived html from Wayback machine and save in:

• papers/firstauthor_X_Y.pdf where X is volume and Y is issue
• papers/firstauthor_X_Y.html where X is volume and Y is issue
• add metadata to a Googlesheet which will eventually end up here.
  • link to Googlesheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MGvhHoNrxp3xxfhu7CHUdmxVMPAU1wvLUNY3DNldDvg/edit#gid=0

Issues to be thinking about

• what if there are other links outside the paper? need to flag these (paper plus page number from the pdf?)
• did we miss anything?
• did Nick somehow mess up the Google sheet?
