Our data source isWikidata, a structured data project similar to the encyclopedia project Wikipedia. Each item is identified by a Q number, and information can be added directly to an item's page (in this case,https://www.wikidata.org/entity/Q42356). Some information however, like an author's papers, are stored on the item for the paper itself. The "What links here" link in the sidebar of an item can show these items.
There are also varioustools available which can make editing Wikidata quicker and more rigorous.
