Mapping Technological Needs for Wikimedia & Education + other updates
by Krishna Chaitanya Velaga 14 Mar '20

14 Mar '20

Hello everyone, The Wikipedia & Education User Group is conducting a survey to understand the technological needs of EduWiki community across the movement. The results of this survey will not only assist to map the global needs of the leaders of Wikimedia in Education, but also help us to prioritize the needs. The Wikipedia & Education User Group’s goal is to support the development of better resources and technical tools to support the work happening around the world. Please help us spread the word. Every EDUWiki user/leader counts, and the more people fill out this survey, the easier it will be to advocate for our needs. Link to the survey form: https://wikimedia.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0jupLRlhxRpPGWp Also, as some you of might already be aware that the User Group is organizing EduWiki Conference 2020, in Serbia, we have proposed a grant to WMF in this regard. We would like community members to go through it and endorse it at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Conference/Wikimedia_Serbia/EduWiki_… . Let us know if you have any questions regarding the survey or the conference. Regards, Krishna Chaitanya

Papers can include links to Wikipedia pages, figures are all uploaded to Commons, and suitable material (or even whole articles) can be copied over to Wikipedia. In fact, Wikipedia pages have even been submitted to the journals for peer review. The concept is to couple the rigour of academic peer review with the extreme reach of the wiki ecosystem. This improves the accuracy of the encyclopedia and its sister projects, and rewards authors with citable, indexed publications. Authors are treated the same whether they are professors or students, with a focus on the article’s accuracy and referencing. Peer reviews are public (example <https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/DwZlCgZovLtAQBXkCxR07G?domain=na01.safeli…>) and 75% of reviewers agree to have their identities open. Article formats are flexible and have included: - Broad review article that also becomes a Wikipedia page (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjs/2019.001>) - Existing Wikipedia page submitted for peer review (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjh/2019.001>) - Focused review articles that have images or text added to Wikipedia pages (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2017.002>) - Technical reviews that can accompany a Wikipedia page (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2019.008>) - Stand-alone research articles (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2019.007>) *Can't get enough?* Follow us at twitter on @WikiJMed <https://twitter.com/WikiJMed> | @WikiJSci <https://twitter.com/WikiJSci> | @WikiJHum <https://twitter.com/WikiJHum> See out application to the WMF to found a sister project site <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sister_Project_application_for_Wiki…> Join the WikiJournals general mailing list <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikijournal-en> Read this piece in the *Signpost* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2019-06-30/In_fo…>
