Change Details

OAbot should propose new links even on citations which already have an URL, or green OA identifiers (like PMC and arXiv). because the new URL/identifier can be an improvement. See an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sluggish_cognitive_tempo&diff=prev&oldid=844139458|example of good edit]] made after removing the [[https://github.com/dissemin/oabot/blob/2e0afa4de9e78e6fd9df2dc9e6a5c61555397b9e/src/oabot/main.py#L92|`if already_oa_param` restriction]]. Factors we can consider with small effort: * for direct links to a PDF URL and certain identifiers, whether they're still functioning (CiteSeerX records and others can be taken down); * for functioning links, whether they're identical to the resolved DOI; * for identifiers, whether the existing identifier has higher priority than the proposed one (e.g., CiteSeerX identifier is less useful when there's already a PMC/arXiv identifier).
