Hi all WikiJournal participants,
I've previously been sending emails to the overall WikiJournal email list (
wikijournal-en(a)lists.wikimedia.org) as well as to the email lists of the
editorial boards about matters that are relevant to each journal. However,
this is causing error messages for those that reply to all, by not being
members of each editorial board. Therefore, for emails where we want to
notify each journal, we should use the public emails (wijoumed@
googlegroups.com, wikijsci(a)googlegroups.com etc.), unless there's a
particular reason to email board members only. Editorial board members
should receive those emails as well - I've added this at the editorial
board pages [WikiJSci]
<https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=WikiJournal_of_Science/Editori…>
and [WikiJMed]
<https://en.wikiversity.org/w/index.php?title=WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Editor…>).
For WikiJMed, all board members have already joined the public email list
as well. For WikiJSci, I've sent invitations for board members who haven't
joined the public email list already.
Best regards,
Mikael
Dear AffCom members,
I'm sorry for not having sent this application earlier. On behalf of the
project registered as Wikiversity Journal User Group, I want to apply for
having its name changed to WikiJournal User Group. This name was approved
among project members in a public vote at Talk:WikiJournal User
Group/Archive 2#Name election
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group/Archive_2#Name_…>
.
Best regards,
Mikael Häggström
Hi,
"Don't hesitate to be bold :)"
Being bold is in this case (and in my opinion) not trying to access un-free
(libre) content.
As I commented on the *google doc*, to me any 'hack' in accessing and using
pay-walled (or gold openaccess) content is reinforcing them as a needed
component. They are not (unless we let them be).
I would advice against publishing in "not open" journals. Ignoring them
altogether. But to do that, we'd need alternatives. They exist (in ranging
degree of openness). And some are developing in wikiversities :
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group
Some researcher communities, quitting proprietary journals is not
unprecedented
(http://openaccess.inist.fr/?Lingua-face-a-Elsevier-pour ;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossa_(journal)http://sigir.org/files/forum/F2001/sigirFall01Letters.html ;
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Machine_Learning_Research)
The more we delay by h/cr-acking proprietary journals, the latter we'll see
"*open, global, collaborative research ecosystem*" appear.
The trick is not a huge (operational) step. Convince enough 'secured'
(titulaire / holder) researchers to start organizing as reviewing groups
under an open system and divert all publication work toward it (including
organizing conferences, a thing WMF already learned to its own purpose).
But don't fool ourselves. In terms of academical power, it's an
overwhelmingly huge step. And some professors will drown (and fight it).
Full-rights OA (FROA) is easier to access, use, quote, mix... and should
thus be positively received in those biblio-metric indicators our
institutions put us under. Changing biblio-flows is changing the monitoring
of our activities thus the power pathways (this is where it is a huge
change). More importantly, under such a system the content should fall
under Linus's_Law. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus%27s_Law>
So " Is the OA movement involved enough in making wikimedian journals (or
any fully open one) arise ? " That's my *bold* question.
BR
Rudy (user:RP87)
PS : That was a surprise. ? a google doc, from :
*Head of the Wikipedia Library*
*Wikimedia Foundation"*
Ok, user:Ocaasi's page quote is "Make everything as simple as possible, but
not simpler." -Mr. Einstein <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein>
But isn't this choice a denial of wikimedian tools ?

Hi all,
I received this message about needing to make a formal application for a
name change. I suggest a message such as follows:
"Dear AffCom members,
I'm sorry for not having sent this application earlier. On behalf of the
project registered as Wikiversity Journal User Group, I want to apply for
having its name changed to WikiJournal. This name was approved in a public
vote Talk:WikiJournal User Group/Archive 2#Name election
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group/Archive_2#Name_…>
."
Perhaps there's more we can add to it?
Best regards,
Mikael

Hi WikiJournal participants,
I've discovered that the Crossref membership of WikiJournal of Medicine can
actually be used to assign DOI codes
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_object_identifier> to articles of
multiple journals. For example, we can create DOI codes for the articles in
WikiJournal of Science. If we want, we can assign it to the the articles of
issue 0 <https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Science/Issues/0>,
or perhaps we want to wait until a peer review system is in place.
This feature changes my mind regarding future financing of WikiJournal.
Since the Crossref membership is the main cost of our funding by rapid
grants <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid>, I think it
would be better to apply on the behalf of the entire WikiJournal project
instead of for WikiJournal of Medicine.
It's time to start preparing the grant for next year's expenses, so in any
case I will now go ahead and register WikiJournal as a non-profit
organization in Sweden, so that we can apply for a rapid grant as such an
organization. I can take the treasurer position in the grant application,
but feel free to nominate yourself of someone else too for it.
Best regards,
Mikael
Hi WikiJournal participants,
As a user group, we are now invited to endorse the strategic direction of
Wikimedia Foundation (see forwarded email below). I think it seems all
right to endorse it. You can use this email (wikijournal-en@
lists.wikimedia.org) for any concerns or comments.
Best regards,
Mikael

Subject: Strategic direction is final; endorsement on October 26
To: editor.in.chief(a)wikijmed.org
tl;dr: The strategic direction is final now. All groups and individuals are
invited to endorse it on October 26. Please set-up a process in your group
to come to an decision about your endorsement.
Dear Mikael,
Here’s my regular update to organizations and groups in the Wikimedia
movement, and I’d like to ask you for your attention:
We have finalized the strategic direction and I invite you to take a look
at it.[1] This direction is attempting to capture and synthesize the
aspirations and opinions from hundreds of offline and online conversations
that we had in the last seven months with the different audience groups
like individual contributors, organized groups and new voices. This
direction is not a plan or a project, but a direction for us as a movement
to move forward to together.
But we are not fully there yet: Before we conclude phase 1 of the strategy
process, we are asking all groups and individuals for their endorsement of
the strategic direction. Here are the facts:
== When ==
October 26, 2017 (this is the date we are currently aiming for); we aim to
create a joyous moment for all of us, a day to celebrate the future ahead
together. Come together, invite your members or communities to join, sign
the page and follow how your fellow Wikimedians around the world celebrate
#wikimedia2030. And although we would like to use this day to create a
sense of community spirit around the direction, there will be a way to
endorse the direction after the 26.
== Who ==
All organizations, groups, committees, and individuals in our movement are
invited to endorse.
== Why ==
To show support and commitment to the direction; to commit to participating
in the next phase of the movement strategy process in good faith.
== How ==
By signing a meta page with your Wikimedia username, indicating that you
sign it in the name of your organization or group. In practice, we will ask
people to endorse the strategic direction (in the green box) and the
section “what comes next”[1]. We will build that page in the coming days
and I will send out the link in a coming update.
== What to do now ==
Prepare your affiliate or group to endorse the direction on October 26. You
might want set up a decision making process, hold a meeting, schedule a
resolution or whatever works best for you.
It would also be helpful for us if you can help spreading this information
across your communities, help with translations and direct questions to me
or to the talk page of the direction.
== What’s next ==
>From November on, constituents of the movement will negotiate towards an
agreement on roles, responsibilities and organizational strategies that
enable us to implement our shared future. As a signatory, they will pledge
to consider the needs of our movement above their own, and to find the
structures, processes, and resources that enable our movement to best move
towards our common direction.
I will send further updates when we are getting closer to the endorsement
day. Let me know if you have further questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Nicole
