- Abstract: Scientific and academic articles are an enormous part of Wikidata: with around a third of Wikidata items being about scholarly articles. Our focus is on automatically detecting and adding the first and last names of the authors from scientific databases to scholarly articles on Wikidata. By doing this, Wikidata items can be categorized and searched via their authors, allowing for more precise and comprehensive archiving of academic articles, which then can be referred to by Cite Q and Wikipedia projects. This is a project proposed by the Wikimedia Foundation on the round of May 2022 to August 2022, The Oureachy Internship Program.

@hlepp In case it's of use, I gave a general talk about Outreachy at Wikidatacon last year, I'd be happy to repeat it if you wanted a couple of related talks together - or @PangolinMexico could reuse some of the content if they wanted.
