Grants:Project/Rapid/WikiJournal 2018

Choose one or more of the following goals. You can add or delete goals as needed.

1. Add or improve content

The goal of WikiJournal User Group is to publish scholarly works with no cost for the authors, apply quality checks on submissions by expert peer review, and make accepted works available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity. It applies academic peer review to their content. WikiJournals emphasize transparency throughout the publication process, from peer review to the final version. Thereby, WikiJournal encourages editors to not only summarize existing human knowledge, but also to build upon it. Also, WikiJournals acquire articles containing media (such as images) to enrich Wikipedia articles. It uses an open-access academic publishing model, which scholars and academics may be more familiar with, and so provides citable, indexed articles.

1. Tell us how you'll carry out your project.

This grant is to cover the expenses of WikiJournal User Group through 2018. From the previous grant, the project has grown from only medical topics to a multi-journal organization engaging people from many different fields.

2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

We are spreading the word about this project in WikiProjects such as WikiProject Medicine. We reach out to individual users about ways to contribute, and make occasional entries in the Signpost.

3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?

WikiJournal of Medicine engages an editorial board of 9 medical experts, as well as numerous authors to write the medical content, in addition to reviewers with credentials in those fields. WikiJournal of Science likewise attracts experts in their fields. WikiJournal of Humanities is starting up, with a provisional board with expertise in humanities and social sciences.

4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

It is fully aligned with the direction of Wikimedia in building communities of contributors from various academic fields. It also builds a new infrastructure for participation, creating content that is useful for multiple Wikimedia sister projects.

How will you know if the project is successful and you've met your goals? Please include the following targets:

1. Number of events
2. Number of participants
3. Number of new editors
4. Number of of articles created or improved
5. Number of repeat participants (for projects that include a series of events)

What resources do you have? Include information on who is organizing the project, what they will do, and if you will receive support from anywhere else (in-kind donations or additional funding).

610ドル in remaining funds for the budget year of 2017, see Grants:Project/Rapid/WikiJournal of Medicine/Report, dedicated to:

• Prize competition, to be payed early 2018: 400ドル
• COPE membership fee, expected to be payed in November 2017: 210ドル

What resources do you need? For your funding request, list bullet points for each expense and include a total amount.

275ドル: Crossref membership, which gives us the tool to give doi codes to all articles of all included journals. This allows external sites and journals to cite these works with a link that always directs to the article, even if the URL changes.

210ドル: Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) membership fee: 158ドル [1], expected to be payed in November 2018. We will benefit by showing that we are up to international standards in ethics issues, comparable to major academic journals. This will make the project more attractive to contributors. This membership also opens up a new forum for discussion of ethical matters, where we will receive advice, and also help forming future standards for how ethical matters can be handled in modern information technology. For example, how do we deal with informed consent (or the absence thereof) for thousands of medical images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons?

57ドル: Domain fees for WikiJMed.org (WikiJournal of Medicine), WikiJSci.org (WikiJournal of Science), and WikiJHum.org (WikiJournal of Humanities), each costing 19ドル per year.

Total amount: 542ドル
