Notes
[edit]- Indexing
- Next target is Web of Science - form is similar to Scopus
- Do both WJM and WJS at the same time
- https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Category:WikiJournal_indexing_applications
- Technical editors
- HR onboarding has been happening quite a bit
- Brought on as contractors - 2 so far have signed
- option to be employees, though other employment may require exclusivity
- We can add tasks for technical editors on the task page
- Ukrainian WikiJournal proposal - invited speaker Oleksiy Boldyriev
- In Ukraine, language barrier to publish in international academic journals
- Ukrainian language journals can have bad reputation for non-thorough peer review
- Therefore interested in the WikiJournals open peer reviewed model
- Several academics & wikipedians within ukrainian community interested in testing
- Suggested to do a special issue of WikiJSci for Ukrainian research as test.
- Ukrainian language with english abstract translations
- Enables interested editors to see how the process works

- Potential publication idea
- Idea to write a comparative analysis article across all WikiJournals, comparing subscription/paywall vs other OA journals vs pre-prints vs WikiJournals
