User:Mike Peel/Microattribution

How it's done on Wikipedia
Taking Wikipedia as an example...
 * History of article - basically the author list
 * User:Kwamikagami - recent editor - can see their contributions (for each language Wikipedia e.g. es; also for other projects e.g. commons)
 * Can see list of authors - and article statistics
 * Individual stats for a single contributor: WikiDashboard, SUL
 * Physical book: author list

... same applies to any other MediaWiki install. Wikimedia accounts (mostly) linked, similar Wikia - others probably not (lots of open silos).

Wikipedia article

 * Microattribution (article needs writing - any volunteers?)
 * It could just be done here, in place, IMO. Mainly it needs a definition and a clarification about the relationship to nanopublications (and maybe altmetrics), the rest will probably follow from the references. Would be nice to find more relevant publications. Jodi.a.schneider (talk) 14:02, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I volunteered and created the stub entry. Brian Kelly, UKOLN.

Examples

 * Microattribution at GitHub
 * See also who has done what exactly for a given resource: GitHub, Wikigenes (click on any piece of text, and the author will be highlighted)


 * Example of combining traditional and wiki-based attribution, at Species ID
 * Example of anonymized, public peer review
 * "RC C1690: 'report', Anonymous Referee #1, 11 Apr 2011
 * AC C4959: 'Response to anonymous reviewer #1', Hersey Scott, 15 Jun 2011 "

Related concepts

 * Alt metrics
 * Nanopublications (maybe the same thing?)

Questions

 * Question from the audience: This kind of microattribution may work fine on Wikimedia/ MediaWiki, but how does it scale to the thousands of scientific journals?
 * Relationship to nanopublications?
 * What size of dataset (i.e. how small, granularity) can/should we give a DOI?
