@nemobis how does it identify researchers?
Show threadNemo_bis 🌈Nov 13, 2022
@Amandatron89 By their having an ORCID, which is a reasonably proxy. (Most people with an ORCID on Wikidata were imported because their papers were also imported.) You can also filter by profession.

@nemobis is there a way to add a twitter handle to that? I'm looking at it now and can't see a way to edit identifiers. Not that I expect Twitter to be around by the end of the year 😅

@Amandatron89 Yes, look for the "add statement" button, type "twitter" in the property name.
