Hi everyone,
I think an interesting first trial would be to select automatically
retrieve relevant OA bibliographies for each articles. As an experienced
wikipedian, I can testify that searching for references might be a
time-consuming activity, especially whenever I'm dealing with a topic I
don't know fully well. This kind of feature would allow to focus on the
actual writing.
Greetings,
PCL
