Adding papers to the ORKG manually

To add a paper manually to the ORKG, you need to go through the following steps:

  • This leads you to the add paper wizard. The goal of this step is to enter the metadata of your paper into the ORKG. If you have a DOI, you can enter it in the respective field and click on Lookup. Then, the ORKG will automatically fetch all metadata for you. If you don’t have a DOI for your paper, you can enter it manually. In either case, you will need to choose the research field of your paper. If all the metadata is complete, you can click on Add paper and continue with the next step.

  • You are now on the paper’s page in the ORKG in edit mode. Now begins the most important part of the work. Below, you can see a screenshot of said page with the most important parts marked with a red frame.

  1. These are the contributions. Your paper will alwas start with the default contribution Contribution 1. If you click on the pen icon, you can change the name of the contribution to something more meaningful. You can also add Contributions here by clicking on the plus icon to the right of this line.

  2. Here, you can add properties to fill in your contribution with data. If you need help with modelling your paper’s contents for the ORKG, you can have a look here. Alternatively, you can also use a template to enter your data.

  3. Here, we suggest four very general properties that are present in many research papers. If they also fit for your paper, you can simply add them by clicking on them here.

Once you’ve added all relevant information, you can end editing by clicking on Stop editing on the top right.
