Visualizing the research ecosystem via Wikidata and Scholia

About This is a contribution to the #FlashForwardFest 2021 session Visualizing the global research ecosystem via Wikidata and Scholia on 24 February 2021. A recording of the session is available via https://youtu.be/Rk_XdMCk3fA . Abstract Research takes place in a sociotechnical ecosystem that connects researchers with the objects of study and the natural and cultural worlds around them. Wikidata is a community-curated open knowledge base in which concepts covered in any Wikipedia — and beyond — can be described and annotated collaboratively. This session is devoted to demoing Scholia, an open-source tool to visualize the global research ecosystem based on information in Wikidata about research fields, researchers, institutions, funders, databases, locations, publications, methodologies and related concepts.This project has received funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation under grant number G-2019-11458
