Description

To discuss:

Based on feedback from an author, would it be possible to withhold papers that only have C. elegans as a species and not other entities or data types?

We have some bioinformatics/software type papers that I include in our WB corpus, but those papers aren't a great fit for the ACKnowledge form and what we're asking for.

We can discuss possible approaches to this, e.g. a tag I'd add upon including the paper in the corpus or if something could be done post-processing.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing how papers enter the WB corpus and whether entity filtering occurs during inclusion or post-processing; the issue is done only after the team decides and implements a clear rule for papers containing only C. elegans.
