Meeting Notes[edit]

Notes (First Meeting)[edit]

Status update on in-progress articles from each journal

  • WJM
    • I will send round a final version of my tracking document for the long overdue pre-prints; frankly we have reached rock-bottom with some of these in terms of either encouraging handling editors to find reviewers or authors to respond to reviewers. Two articles need handling editors. Instead, I will do all tracking on https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Potential_upcoming_articles and here I have entered an updated (and dated) note for each article and will check this regularly and use this to chase up outstanding pre-prints. At the moment we have 13 pre-prints here; one is in its final stages for review and two (Q115703463 & Q115704296) require handling editors. I would encourage colleagues to check this regularly too.
  • May have to decline articles if the authors are not respond - try again and if no response decline

  • Google Scholar can write a specific ingester for XML, but it will miss some contents and the XML format has to remain the same for the ingester to work (or notify the Google Scholar team in advance so that it won’t break)

No easy way to contact associate editors Reviewers signup list has been used, but doesn’t contain contact details of faculty webpages, so difficult to contact members
