Wikidata, Open Infrastructures, Recognition&Rewards
I won't dwell about open citations and CiTO, but do want to repeat how humongous potential Wikidata (Wikibase) has. Yesterday, during the SWAT4HCLS hackathon we ran into a predicate allowing Wikidata to store and generally FAIR-ify "Acknowledgment" sections. You can actually record whom you are thanking in your article, with the caveat, the people need to be in Wikidata (notable). Property P7173 is used for this.
This query lists people who have been acknowledged in Wikidata this way, for whatever the literature thanks them for. It's a bit of recognition and rewarding, some real impact on the scientific process that no one care about (as much as citations). You get thanked a lot in articles? Currently, you should have gotten yourself cited instead. Perverse incentives, indeed.
