Dear all,
I hope you don't mind my sharing this information to the list.
Last Wednesday I shared a dataset of 497 bibliographic entries of scientific articles mentioning the keyword ‘Ebola’. Each entry links to the article/paper/output itself.

I shared the dataset to crowdsource the type of access (open/paywalled) of each paper and the type of license of each paper (All Rights Reserved/Some Rights Reserved etc.).
By Friday last week the World Health Organisation had declared Ebola an international health emergency.
Until now about 40% of the papers have the additional data required. The intention is to complete the dataset, offering not only the main value of a list of scientific articles on Ebola, but information about how many of those are available without restrictions.
Crowdsourcing is a task dear to the digital humanities, and so is online publishing. If any of you reading this could help working with us on the dataset it will be appreciated. Even doing just one is a lot of help. Follow the link above to reach the online spreadsheet.
With many thanks in advance,
Ernesto
