So now we will work in the productive version. We will use DOI to automatically put an article into Wikidata via sourcemd. If you are familiar in Life Science you can use our example with PubMed for finding DOIs of new article, optional you can choose an journal related to your scientific field. Sourcemd gets it metadata from Crossref, also look to sourcemd:instructions

4.3 Adding statements via sourcemd and quickstatements

Go to pubmed, scroll down to “latest literature” and select an article: latest_articles

choose_doi

Go to sourcemd and paste the DOI or PMID into the search field:

paste_into_sourcemd

Click on “check source”. Now you can see automatically generated statements including meta data of the article like author names or date of publication. Click on “Open in QuickStatements”.
