User:Prototyperspective/Year in science/List of nonincluded items for 2020

Table of items that were not added to 2020 in science but, in most cases, were nearly included or not that easy to exclude.

Most of them are significant, a fraction potentially should have been included, they may be interesting to some readers (e.g. for machine learning), and the rationales for non-inclusion provided for a fraction of items can be useful for understanding and further developing / articulating the inclusion-criteria.

The page may need further formatting, I don't think many will read it – partly it's just an organized resource for myself (possibly including for WP-editing) and for the sake of (approximating) completeness for articles to live up to their title of being about / describing one "year in science" each.

Some editors may also find this useful for finding tasks of things to do as a fraction of these items may be relevant to other articles; I don't think I'll go through them again to add them to any (other/highly-specific) articles. Probably most of the studies are likely relevant to at least article, especially if there is a wikilink in the last column.

However, not all of them (maybe not even most), many items are likely missing here (few of these even the year in science article), some have already been integrated into Wikipedia, and some may only or also be relevant to a timeline of a scientific field (see the timelines in the infobox linked on the right).

Having items in a table allows easily filtering and sorting items by field and other metadata, I proposed this for the year in science articles here, but currently don't even support it myself because of various problems with Wikipedia tables – bullet-points probably look better and could get supplemented with interactive tags (e.g. for scientific fields). Nevertheless, this also is a demonstration of an alternative layout for these articles.

Selection (initial discovery and in/exclusion decisions) could be the most laborious / difficult tasks of my monthly science summary related routine (monthly summary infographics and additions to the Wikipedia "Year in science" article and relevant WP edits). This table could be considered as a list of items that nearly but didn't make it through my / the proposed inclusion-filters.

You can sort the tables and the page is searchable by keywords (ctrl+F). For example, you can sort by scientific field or search for a scientific topic term.

For 2021 go here.

Not included
The list for 2020 is exceptionally short, there are more non-included items for 2021 – reasons for that probably include that I did not have an as good addition routine/methods, did not yet have good enough criteria, and haven't started to store the non-included items right from the start.

There are problems with tables in Wikipedia, if you can improve the max-widths and responsiveness at some point, please do.

Not-yet checked or missed
These items could go into the above section as non/nearly-included items or not or they should have been added (and theoretically still could be added of course).
