- Abstract
- Wikijournals are open-access peer-reviewed publications. There is no publication cost. Peer reviews are publicly visible. The journals are run by teams of volunteers. Currently there are three WikiJournals: the WikiJournal of Science, the WikiJournal of Medicine, and the WikiJournal of Humanities. WikiJournals publish encyclopedic review articles and the WikiJournal of Science and the WikiJournal of Medicine also publish original research. When a review article is published, journal editors update Wikipedia with the improved version. This improved version is like any other Wikipedia update, and other editors may still edit the page after it is "published" to Wikipedia. The Wikipedia page has a link to the version of the page that was published in the WikiJournal.
- University professors are familiar with the process of reviewing and publishing articles in journals. Asking them to review a submission to a WikiJournal is an accessible way for them to contribute their expertise to Wikipedia. In turn, their expertise is made more accessible through Wikipedia, which is more popular than any academic journal. If contributors to the journal work in academia, they can list their publication on their CV to add to their list of publications. I am on the board of the WikiJournal of Humanities, which is new and working to establish itself. I will encourage attendees to submit their own FA-level pages to the journal.
