Hi Miriam and Dario
I became aware of your project during a recent discussion with the Petr Knoth from the CORE OA aggregatorhttps://core.ac.uk/ around how the CORE recommender might be leveraged to generate potential citations for Wikipedia articles.
I linked to your wiki towards the end of this blogpost: The wisdom of the crowd? Crowdsourcing for information professionalshttps://leedsunilibrary.wordpress.com/2018/04/19/the-wisdom-of-the-crowd-crowdsourcing-for-information-professionals/
Thanks
Nick
