Hey All,
If you haven't been following both the Wikipedia LIbrary and Wikiemdia Research have been working actively with Crossref to improve Wikipedia citations and to reach out to the publishers and OA communities in their network.
They recently reached 80,000,000 records in their database, and are trying to find other instances of other instances of 80,000,000 in response to their tweet and using the hashtag at https://twitter.com/crossreforg/status/718352010291113984 . We responded for TWL at https://twitter.com/WikiLibrary/status/718488294028353537 . It would be great if we shared from Wikimedia accounts instances of 80,000,000 on our projects.
Cheers,
Alex
That's an interesting idea for how to promote such a milestone on social media. I'm not quite sure why Wikimedia feeds should be used for that purpose though - how does it further our mission?
(To clarify for others, the database being celebrated is not about Open Access per se, and as far as I know it's in fact proprietary itself - i.e. not free knowledge. Interestingly, a main motivation for the DOI standard - of which Crossref's database is probably the most important application - was to enhance copyright protection on the Internet and facilitate paywalls: http://quod.lib.umich.edu/j/jep/3336451.0003.204?view=text;rgn=main )

Hi Tilman,
Crossref has been a strong supporter of a number of initiatives within the community over the last year, including the Wikipedia Library and sponsoring WikiCite https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiCite_2016 . Also, we are one of the biggest referrers to DOI -- in that the Wikipedia communities have decided to use it as a major identifier within both Wikipedia and WikiData.
I would think they are already part of our community -- or a least a well used part of our research ecosystem.
Cheers,
Alex
