“ We relied on Zotero and a set of Wikidata tools to provide a large-scale body of article indexing from the Anais do Museu Paulista, a scholarly journal of the Museu do Ipiranga. Our case study and related guidelines seek to motivate and illustrate the inclusion of bibliographic literature from the Global South without an advanced skill set, an information-heavy technology, or a well-structured dataset. The combination of tools and processes presented above forms a catalyst to promote knowledge equity in Wikidata, and in a wider context, bibliographic discovery and access. ”

“ An instance of a reference is limited to its article and cannot be shared among articles; more importantly, it is difficult to move a reference between different-language Wikipedias, even with the support of translation tools.
Wikidata is a free, collaborative knowledge base (Vrandečić & Krötzsch, 2014) , and it can be used to overcome existing inefficiencies in the Wikipedia referencing model. The creation of items for scholarly articles and other periodical literature for a Wikimedia project is a useful contribution in its own right. ”

“ For these editors, tools and processes that are commonly used in resource-richer communities are often not helpful, as they depend on data that are already well-structured and easy to automatically feed to Wikidata. Commercial journal platforms and common metadata structures are well established in the Global North; in contrast, the situation in Brazil and elsewhere is ad-hoc. e process we present in this chapter is more easily replicable in Global South contexts. ”
