Bot to add missing PMID/DOIs
Hey Rj Wondering about the regular running of a bot to add missing PMIDs and DOIs to cite journal templates? Is this possible, at least on medical articles? Maybe monthly? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:51, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, in terms of bots there is the citation bot, and while I think that historically its accuracy and handling of author/editor parameter hasn't always been right, it does seem to be getting code updates from multiple editors now. But I don't know where it's at now, nor how it actually operates.
 * In terms of what I do, currently I run searches off database dumps by getting the citations into an SQL database. Latest dump I'm using is November 2016 as I am still working though the opportunities and errors from that (only 3349 entries left on spreadsheet with apparent missing DOIs to look at manually!). I wouldn't want to be swapping database dumps monthly. However, do you have a way to use API search/special searches to identify "wikiproject medicine articles edited in the last month" - if I had such a query I could run through that on a regular basis, and probably expand the majority of new citations quite easily (and potentially provide a report of what's left to look at manually - one of the things I do is assess DOI coverage by journal, so I can tell if a citation "should" have a DOI. Logically could do for PMID as well). Rjwilmsi  19:13, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
