possible problem when a journal has more than one ISSN

[egonw]

Many journals have two ISSN numbers, one for the print edition, one for the electronic edition.

This seems to be the cause why the WikiPathways bot gives fails on certain articles. It reports the pmid is not in Wikidata, but when it is, often the journal the article is published in has two ISSN numbers.

Hi @egonw
Do you have a code example?

[egonw]

Sorry for the delay. I don't have a code example, but PubMed identifier 11908751 is one for which we find this. It looks like https://github.com/SuLab/WikidataIntegrator/blob/main/wikidataintegrator/wdi_helpers/publication.py#L375-L488 is returning a None. cc @andrawaag

Oh, @andrawaag just found that that PubMed has a page(s) that could be problematic: it has one of the many possible hyphens, where as the code only supports one hyphen: https://github.com/SuLab/WikidataIntegrator/blob/main/wikidataintegrator/wdi_helpers/publication.py#L444

But I am not sure what the pass does in line https://github.com/SuLab/WikidataIntegrator/blob/main/wikidataintegrator/wdi_helpers/publication.py#L454 Would that explain why we get a None?

[egonw]

Sorry, that was silly of me. Wrong source (EuropePMC does use that hypen).

@egonw PubMed support in WDI has since been deprecated. I am currently addressing the lag in issues. Can you confirm if this issue still persists when running your bots with DOIs?

[egonw]

@andrawaag, can you plz assign the issue to me? I am not sure when I will have time, but then I have it on my todo list that I will revisit once a week.
