A Wikimedia initiative to develop '''open citations and linked bibliographic data''' to serve free knowledge. WikiCite is a '''series of conferences''' and '''workshops''' in support of that goal. WikiCite is now a community of people and ecosystem of projects which focuses on source metadata leveraging the '''Wikidata''' platform.

=='''WikiCite is'''==

<div style="font-size:1.15em; line-height:1.7;">

* a '''series of conferences and hackathons''' around Wikimedia, citations, and linked bibliographic metadata;

* a '''collection of [[WikiCite/Projects|projects]]''' to come out of these events;

* the '''[[Connect/WikiCite|community]]''' that has formed around these events and projects;

* an '''ongoing initiative''' to improve the open data ecosystem and the links between Wikimedia projects and the sources they rely on.

<h2 class="wikicite-h2">Shared Citations</h2>

[[File:Webcomic_xkcd_-_Wikipedian_protester_cropped.png|150px|right|link=WikiCite/Shared Citations]]

This is a proposal for the Wikimedia Foundation to create a database of Wikimedia citation records; and associated improvements to cross-wiki monitoring and editing.

These two pillars would empower community-managed workflows and tools to:

* Make citations '''easier''' for the editor,

* more '''useful''' for the reader,

* and more '''efficient''' for our architecture.

<h2 class="wikicite-h2">WikiCite 2020: Virtual conference</h2>

[[File:WikiCite Wikidata 8th Birthday logo.png|300px|right|link=WikiCite/2020_Virtual_conference]]

'''26-28 October: the [[/2020_Virtual_conference|WikiCite 2020 Virtual Conference]]''' is organised to coincide with the celebrations of [[d:Wikidata:Eighth Birthday|Wikidata's 8th Birthday]]. As part of this year’s online conference, there are a series of sessions looking in depth at the WikiCite facets of Wikidata relating to citations, publications, authors, institutions, archives and related topics. Held across ''many languages'', and ''many timezones''.

<h2 class="wikicite-h2">WikiCite grants and e-scholarships</h2>

[[File:FP Satellite icon.svg|100px|right|alt=grahical representation of a satelite broadcasting a signal]]

The [[WikiCite/administration#Coordination|steering committee]] with the financial support of the [https://sloan.org/ Alfred P. Sloan Foundation] and the Wikimedia Foundation, offered two categories of grants for projects which support the goals of WikiCite.<br>

For both categories of grants the application deadline was 1 October 2020; all projects will be '''completed''' by 1 May 2021.

<div class="center">''Successful applications are listed below by category:''.</div>

=== [[WikiCite/grants|Project & Event grants]] ===

WikiCite grants between 2,000ドル and 10,000ドル (USD equivalent) are available to individuals, groups, and organisations

with a project that supports the goals of Wikicite.

Details, the eligibility criteria, and the application form are available on <br>the '''[[WikiCite/grants|WikiCite project & event grants]]''' homepage.

Individuals, groups, and organizations may apply, and projects may be of any nature. This includes technical (e.g. software, tools), event (online, or in-person), resources (training materials, documentation), or other forms not mentioned – as long as it supports the goals of WikiCite.

The following proposals have been accepted:

Completed:

category=WikiCite grant completed

</DynamicPageList>

=== [[WikiCite/e-scholarship|e-Scholarships]] ===

The e-scholarship program is a new kind of grant in Wikimedia, created in response to an era of COVID-19 quarantines, and the 2030 Movement strategy goals.

An e-scholarship provides a per-diem equivalent allowance for 1-5 people to stay at their home(s) and work for 2-4 days on a project supporting the mission of WikiCite. e-scholarship recipients' projects can be the kinds of things they might have previously undertaken at an in-person hackathon, unconference, or research trip.

Details, eligibility criteria, program principles, and the application form are available on <br>the '''[[WikiCite/e-scholarship|WikiCite e-scholarships]]''' homepage.

Funding will:

*be provided in advance;

*be calculated at the WMF per-diem rate for the city where the e-scholarship recipient lives;

*and – as it is a living allowance – ''not'' require recipients to submit expense reports.

"Remote group" applications are encouraged, as are projects which focus on content or communities which are historically underrepresented in Wikimedia projects. Building a bot, fixing a tool, wrangling a dataset, writing complete documentation... all are valid e-scholarship projects. A confirmation letter (in advance) and/or participation certificate (afterwards) can also be provided.

The following proposals were accepted and are complete:

<h2 class="wikicite-h2">Why WikiCite?</h2>

[[File:WMF Metrics and Activities Meeting - September 2016.webm|thumbtime=1852|start=1835|thumb|350px|''Why WikiCite?'' a 10-minute video introduction.<br />Also: ''[https://media.ccc.de/v/wikidatacon2017-10009-wikicite_wikidata_as_a_structured_repository_of_bibliographic_data Why we're building an open knowledge base of citable sources]'' at [[d:Wikidata:WikidataCon_2017|WikidataCon 2017]].]]

The idea is curate the collection of citations in Wikidata, or perhaps in local instances of the Wikibase platform at particular institutions. To the extent that Wikidata has capacity and data is compatible, then information is in Wikidata. When the data seems too large, or not formatted for Wikidata, or when there is another constraint, anyone can host it in their own Wikibase instance and still make it compatible with WikiCite for possible later integration.

WikiCite is among the most popular projects in Wikidata. This popularity is a legacy of an old desire in the Wikipedia community to better manage citations across Wikimedia projects and languages. While WikiCite cannot quickly fulfil all dreams and ambitions, some community wishes for WikiCite is that it leads to better research discovery for Wikipedia and for all research in general. Potential applications include ease of discovering publications on a given topic, profiling of authors and institutions, and visualizing knowledge sources in new ways. WikiCite promises to open citation data, which many people are surprised to hear is a closed dataset in many fundamental ways.

One application for WikiCite is the management of citations on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. Other applications for WikiCite imagine fundamental improvements to the way the Wikimedia community and the world access information. These applications include cataloging all possible knowledge sources which a person might use to develop Wikimedia projects or any off-wiki project, analyzing datasources with new technology to gain new information, and creating a network which ties Wikimedia information to the best available knowledge sources which anyone might access anywhere on any topic in the scope of Wikimedia coverage.

Contributors engaged in developing WikiCite typically seek to design bibliographic data models and to ingest [[:w:bibliographic database|bibliographic databases]] into Wikidata and to develop that information by annotating it and cross-linking it with other items in Wikidata. You can join! Challenges include identifying databases, getting the data, executing the import, verifying accuracy of content, disambiguating the authors and organizations which citations credit, and developing the citations in new ones by interconnecting their elements to other databases or in-wiki cataloging. Various tools can remix and visualize information from WikiCite, such as by presenting insights about publications from a researcher, university or region. The only connections between WikiCite and individual Wikimedia projects are experimental, so there is not social permission to - for example - routinely generate citations in Wikipedia from the WikiCite content in Wikidata. There are countless tasks for persons at all skill levels to do with WikiCite. Technically simple tasks include disambiguating authors and institutions or manually entering citations. More complicated tasks are similar but scaled up with automation.

WikiCite participants become excited about the project by imagining citations in a way that makes them radically more useful than they could have been before the advent of internet. For example, in the paper age a citation for a research project would name the authors of the paper. WikiCite aims to connect a publication to all persons involved in research, and to their institutions, sponsors, other research publications, research outcomes, citations in other literature, an analysis of the nature of citations, and whatever other information is public and implicit in a citation.

[[File:WikiCite 2017 participants 2.jpg|400px]]

Various Wikimedia projects and proposals have sought to accomplish what this current iteration of WikiCite is advancing. The current WikiCite project began in 2016, but various people have used the term "WikiCite" since 2005 and many Wikimedia community members have participated in discussions or efforts to build an interconnected citation database for Wikimedia projects and beyond. Credit for WikiCite goes to 10s of highly engaged Wikimedia participants, 100s of rather engaged Wikimedia and off-wiki contributors, and 10,000s of individuals who have made some labor contribution to the project either by editing citations in any Wikimedia project, or by editing Wikidata citation content, or speaking up in any of the many community conversations about this which have been ongoing since the establishment of Wikipedia.
