Thanks Federico - I'm struggling to access oabot - 502 Bad Gateway - it's a while
but I think affected me last time I tried.
Also just to draw the list's attention to this from Martin and I published last week,
may be of interest:
Poulter, Martin, and Nick Sheppard. 2020. “Wikimedia and Universities: Contributing to the
Global Commons in the Age of Disinformation”. Insights 33 (1): 14. DOI:
http://doi.org/10.1629/uksg.509
Thanks
Nick

Subject: [OpenAccess] Refreshed suggestions of citations for OAbot
For the upcoming #1lib1ref period, I've refreshed the queue of suggested edits in
<https://tools.wmflabs.org/oabot/>, to suggest edits from the most popular articles
for which we found some OA link (~500 for now).
Hopefully this makes the tool more engaging for new users. Given the statistics on
citation engagement recently published by Piccardi, Redi et al at
<https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08614>, some of the obscure articles we previously
propose may not get a click on any citation for years. It's a bit lame to propose such
edits, while spending a few minutes of work to add a link which can produce a few dozens
interactions with OA repositories ought to be interesting.
The list of articles by their popularity is at
<http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3783468>. Maybe it can be useful also for other
projects.
It's just a simple extraction from the pageviews API, but may save you some time if
you're not used to command line scripts or your network latency is too high. Not to
mention that querying 20k articles on TreeViews is prone to crashes.
Federico
