Motivation

ScienceDirect is a website that serves scientific research papers. It links various papers and their parts to machine-learning-derived topics that are then summarized on web pages.

An external ID would be useful for possibly exploring these topics for bibliographic purposes.

Discussion

•  Support The first three examples are all from computer science. I added examples 4-6 from other fields. These are identifiers so Wikidata commonly maps these. Bluerasberry (talk) 23:45, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
•  Support This looks very interesting. @Lectrician1: Could you ask them to release all the topics as CC0 for the benefit of the whole scientific community?--So9q (talk) 10:46, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

@So9q: It's Elsevier, they would never do that. They have opposed our other initiatives in the past. Bluerasberry (talk) 14:46, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
