Hi!
Hope you are all fine. (Here in Spain, how to say, people are in the squares and it seems
we are living historical moments. It is interesting to see how in the square there are
inspirational symbols of Internet phenomenons).
On the last progresses, it is very exiting the later steps. Thanks everyone. Here below
inputs, Mayo
* On research project template: I like it very much. Thanks. Some comments:
+ I would also stress the question of giving a camp for method used (as for me is more
significant than the field).
+ Open data and open access: I understand these has only one category at the moment
"the project has open data publications". Perhaps for more elaborated versions
in the future, it could be added degrees of open data and open access (in line with the
several degress of open access present at "WMF support and requirements").
+ I understand this template is for the page of the Research project. This is fine. But,
shall we also suggest a page structure/index itself, such as in the line of:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_for_research_projects. In terms of page
index/structure of research project, I would keep high level of flexibiity for each
project define its own page, but still a similar index of the research project pages might
help to fastly navegate though them.
* Both on the design of "WMF support and requirements" and "research
project template", I am missing something. One thing is to publish in open acces/open
data etc. in order to increase research availability etc. This might be good for any
research. But researching wikipedia is not like researching anything else, you are dealing
with a community (and a community that act and improve its practices also on the base of
research results). In this regard, another thing is to make efforts in order to
"translate" or make arrive the research results to the Wikipedia community. To
publish in open access is a way to facilitate this link with the community, but not the
only one.
In the line of "giving back the community", I would encourage researchers a set
of practices, such as:
+ create a research project
+ suggest presentations at Wikimania or present into local meet-ups
+ incorporate to wikipedia the results of your research
+ send a short document explaining the main research results to the communications
channels (Village Pumps, Foundation-l, wiki(language)-l, wiki-research-l, etc).
In order not to over well now researchers when creating the conditions to have support,
for me is fine and more easy to handle to start the question of WMF support basically with
highlighting open access requirement, but I would still make present transversally though
the Meta: Research (for example on
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Notes_on_good_practices_on_Wikipedia_research and here
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:EpochFail/On-wiki_research) this category of
encoraging "link/translate" your research results back to the community, and in
the future see more sharp ways to incentive, highlight and culturally value the
researchers who do these efforts to translate/link to the community that goes in line but
are something else than publishing in open access.
Ciao! Mayo

Subject: [RCom-l] Research project template: feedback welcome
All,
this is a first attempt to create a template and a corresponding series of categories for
research project, as part of the planned overhaul of Meta:Research:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:DarTar/SandBox
The template itself is here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:DarTar/Template:Project
I didn't have time to document it but it should be self-explanatory if you look at the
markup.
I added two mockup subtemplates that may help categorize projects by other dimensions such
as method or main field
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:DarTar/Template:Project/fieldcheck
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:DarTar/Template:Project/methodcheck
Feedback is welcome before we start implementing this
Dario
