Open Food Facts do like to contribute to science.
What?
Who?
Dozens of researchers already know or use Open Food Facts data. See:
- our spreadsheet of papers that reuse or mention Open Food Facts data
- our short synthesis related to scientific articles where Open Food Facts played a role.
How?
TODO
- How to help mention Open Food Facts? For example, see the end of this page.
- Create a DOI? DOIs seem to be attached to fixed datasets and not databases. See:
- Look at the other article to see how they cite the database
Work In Progress
- Nature seems to implement a tool for exporting articles in a .ris format (that is readable by most of the citation software : ris on wikipedia)
- Some articles cite OFF by giving the url in the article :[1], [2]
- Some cite OFF by giving the name : [3]
- Some put OFF in citations : [4]
If our objective is to have an easy way to follow the scientific article using OFF, it would be interesting to create a DOI, and propose an easy way to cite the database by offering a way to download the reference in one of the major formats (here are those proposed by google scholar):
- BibTeX (wikipedia page) is a text to copy past
- EndNote wikipedia page
- RefMan wikipedia page The software is not supported any more but the .ris format is still used, and proposed by nature when clicking on "cite this article"
- RefWorks wikipedia page
