[PUBLICATIONS] Automated linkage of Preprint articles to Peer Reviewed ones #145

Closed flaneuse closed 3 years ago

flaneuse commented 4 years ago

Determine if there's an automated way to link together pre-print articles with the published version.

As of now, BioRxiv / MedRxiv can capture this information, but: 1) The COVID-specific .json records either don't expose this information 2) As far as I know, the burden falls on the investigator to manually link these records together, which obviously means there are huge gaps with this happening.

Look into author / abstract / title NLP similarity to try to link these in an automated way.
