Submissions:2025/Proposing the Wiki Science Hub
This submission has been noted and is pending review for WikiConference North America 2025.
Title:
- Proposing the Wiki Science Hub
Type of session:
- Lecture (15-30 min)
Session theme(s):
- Missing pieces
Abstract:
A recent trend in global Wikimedia organizing is combining smaller efforts into larger Hubs of coordination. Here we propose the Science Hub.
The Wikimedia Movement has had great individual and small group contributions to development of wiki science infrastructure, both for producing science content for readers and also providing support for scientists to engage with Wikipedia. We give an overview of some of the more popular science programs, share the idea of the Science Hub and what use it would have, and invite feedback.
Topics covered will include the following:
- WikiProjects for Science
- WikiSpecies
- WikiCite
- Wikimedia Medicine
- institutional partnerships
- research about Wikipedia and its community
