According to [Wikidata](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Scholia),
> Scholia is a project to present bibliographic information and scholarly profiles of authors and institutions using Wikidata, the community-curated database supporting Wikipedia and all other Wikimedia projects.

Scholia accesses information from [WikiData](https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page) to search the literature. This requires that the main subject of a publication is annotated in WikiData.

The more people annotate scientific literature in WikiData, the more powerful the search function in Scholia will become.

In this example, there are no matching records found, so we need to annotate the publication in WikiData. To do so, click on the identifier associated with the title of the publication at the top of the page which is Q61163318 in this case. This will bring you to the WikiData page for the publication of interest. The page contains multiple pieces of information about the publication including the author list, the publication date, the journal, work that it cites, etc.
