This has been proposed before, and I do support it - I think a good case can be made that there is a field in Wikipedia studies (or on a larger scale, wiki studies) - yet there is no dedicated journal. This needs to change.

I've been thinking recently that we should start this journal. There isn't an obvious candidate, despite some of the amazing research that's been done, and the extreme transparency that allows much deeper work to be done on wiki communities in the future.
Would some of the Wikipapers folks be interested in working on this? I'm thinking of something like a law-review model where much peer review happens by young researchers that are more junior (professionally) than the submitted papers, but very very skilled at review and editorial technique. Which fits our community as well as it does lawyers.

Hi all; I like the journals that work under the same (or similar) principles of free knowledge projects, a.k.a. open-access journals. I would like to publish some paper regarding to wikis in that kind of OA publications, do you have any recommendation? I found First Monday, which is peer-reviewed and OA, but it is not indexed in ISI. Any more suggestions? Thanks. Regards, emijrp -- Emilio J. Rodríguez-Posada.
