Dear all,
I have just finished my second "teaching with Wikipedia" article. I'd like to publish it in an established academic journal that, if possible, supports open content. Unfortunately, I do not have much experience with this sector of the journals (teaching/education/pedagogy journals), nor with journal impact magic, and thus I'd very much appreciate your suggestions where to publish. I have, of course, quickly Google'd few open content teaching journals, but I admit, selfishly, that entering the job market, I'd prefer my CV to include, if possible, higher-end journals...
(In my sociology field, the most respected educational journal, "Teaching Sociology", is, sadly, not open content...).
If anybody is interested in reading and commenting on my article in question (tentatively titled "Wikis and Wikipedia as a Teaching Tool: Five Years Later"), I have made it available on Google Docs (just let me know and I'll send you a link, and enable commenting for your account).
PS. My old 2007 article (titled, unsurprisingly, "Wikis and Wikipedia as a Teaching Tool") was published here: http://www.itdl.org/Journal/Jan_07/article02.htm I am still content with it for what it was in 2007, but by 2011, it is, I'll be the first to admit it, rather obsolete.
Hi Piotr,
I do not have much personal experience other than running into some inspiring articles here and there and noting the journals that have published them. I would get in contact with Dan Cohen, dan@dancohen.org, the Director of the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. They are very Wikipedia-friendly there (they are also who originated THATcamp) and are a strong presence in the digital humanities field. He may have some more specific help for you.
Just off the cuff, I recall the article "Teaching Wikipedia as a Mirrored Technology," which was published in the online journal First Monday: http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2824/2746
Also, the Chronicle of Higher Education has run a few Wikipedia stories, including a good summary at the 10 year anniversary and coverage on Wikiproject:Public art (then known as Wikipedia Saves Public Art.) http://chronicle.com/article/Wikipedia-Comes-of-Age/125899/?sid=cr
Hope that helps a little! Lori

I would like to second Lori's recommendation of Dan Cohen their center is on top of almost everything that is going on right now in digital humanities work, and would know who to publish with,
Alex
