Mailing list subscription button

Hi, I noticed that the the current Wiki.J.Sci main page <https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Science> has a button for subscribing to the general WikiJournal mailing list <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikijournal-en>. I know Wiki.J.Med additionally has a public google group <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wijoumed>. (I don't really know much about how mailing lists work)! Is there any difference between the functionality of google groups vs wikimedia lists? (I don't really know much about mailing lists)! Would it be best to use just one platform for simplicity? All the best, Thomas -- Thomas Shafee *La Trobe Institute for Molecular Science* & *Hexima Ltd* | Postdoctoral research fellow Profiles at ResearchGate <https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Thomas_Shafee> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/pub/108/346/46a> | GoogleScholar <scholar.google.co.uk/citations?hl=en&user=m6Qd3zIAAAAJ> | AltMetric <https://www.altmetric.com/explorer/report/9048e6b2-9f82-49b4-b786-2d5674080…> | Wikipedia <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Evolution_and_evolvability>

Re: [WikiJournal-en] Test wiki

Hi all, It would be beneficial to have a wiki of our own, since it would for example reduce the risk of newcomers getting lost among all the other Wikiversity pages. The latest peer reviewer I came in contact with found the structure to be rather confusing, so with a wiki of our own we'd be able to have a much simpler page. Yet, it shouldn't be disconnected from Wikimedia projects. I wouldn't want us to move all the pages to an external site, making us need to move all the pages again when it's approved as a Wikimedia sister project. The ideal solution would be something like the Wikimedia Incubator <https://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Incubator:Main_Page> but that one only works for new language versions of existing wikis.

I think having a test wiki is excellent. Many thanks. This is a critical step towards one day being our own sister site. This will increase our reputation significantly.

As I did migrate content from wikis few times, I assure you it's hard to move from a wikiproject to an entire wiki once you're really "rooted" in the wiki + You are not free to organize your project because you share a wiki (no custom Sidebar, Extensions, configuration, CSS, categories). But do what you want ! :)

Plain language summaries
by Michaël Laurent 17 Jun '17

17 Jun '17

Dear all, at the suggestion of Gwinyai I would like to discuss whether or not we would include in our Author guidelines for future submission the advice and/or requirement to authors to add a *Plain language summary*. This has already been included in https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Images_of_Aerococcu… ; but many other recent articles don't have this. I think in the spirit of Wikipedia and to make any topic accessible to the widest possible audience I would welcome these. Several big journals already use these e.g. Cochrane, JAMA, Ann Intern Med etc. have summaries for patients. Only sometimes they are written by the authors themselves and sometimes by the Editors/Journal. I *support* adding Plain language summaries to the Author Instructions. PS: I also added a topic for this discussion online: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Publishing#Pla… with kindest regards, Michaël

Wikimedia strategy discussions
by Mikael Häggström 12 Jun '17

12 Jun '17

Hi WikiJournal participants, I made an entry for WikiJournal in Wikimedia's strategy discussions, based (in many cases copied - I hope you find it all right) on entries by Thomas, James and myself: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Sources/Cy… Feel free to edit it further. Best regards, Mikael ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Nicole Ebber <nicole.ebber(a)wikimedia.de> Date: Mon, Jun 12, 2017 at 5:47 PM Subject: Discussion Coordinators: Please publish your summaries today To: editor.in.chief(a)wikijmed.org Cc: Suzie Nussel <snussel(a)wikimedia.org>, Jaime Anstee < janstee(a)wikimedia.org> tl;dr: * Cycle 2 ends today, please upload your summaries. * Cycle 3 runs from June 22-July 11, 2017 * You can still apply for funding for affiliate-led events with partner and experts (until June 15), and we offer some quick turnaround funding for affiliate-led events with your communities in cycle 3. Dear Mikael, I hope this email finds you well. We are only 8 weeks away from Wikimania, and that means also 8 weeks away from a definition of Wikimedia's future role in the world and a collaborative strategy to fulfill that role. == Submit your summaries today! == Today, the second cycle of our movement strategy process comes to an end. Please submit the summaries of your conversations today, by using the source pages template: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_ movement/2017/Sources == Cycle 3 == Cycle 3 will be running from June 22-July 11, 2017. In cycle 3, we will be asking all of you to give feedback to a draft strategic direction, so that we can finalize the it and then invite all organized groups to endorse it before Wikimania. This cycle will again allow for in-person as well as online conversations, and we will share more details and tips shortly. We would like to encourage you to already plan and schedule your affiliate’s conversations, as the cycle is only 2.5 weeks long. If you have already scheduled cycle 3 meetings according to the previous timeline, please reach out to me so that we can see how to adapt the conversation guideline accordingly. == Affiliate-led events on movement strategy: For partners and (new!) community == Until June 15, every affiliate that is interested in hosting an event to discuss movement strategy with their partners and experts can apply through this simplified and fast grant process: https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Cycle_2/Reach/Apply Induced by feedback from some of you, we will now also be offering some funding for affiliate-led meetings and workshops with your communities. If you are interesting in hosting and organizing such an event in cycle 3 (June 22-July 11), please reach out to me directly so we can discuss the process. We appreciate all the feedback we have received so far, and we look forward to the final discussions happening in the upcoming few days. Let me know if you have questions, ideas or concerns. I am happy to support you on the way to Wikimedia’s strategic direction.

How to look up subscription journals
by Diptanshu Das 04 Jun '17

04 Jun '17

Dear all I would like to point you to http://sci-hub.cc (also accessible from http://80.82.77.83 ) from where you can access full text of subscription journal articles without any charge. Let me also point that although accessible from the US and most other parts of the world (barring the institutions which block its access), the site not 'legal' in the US (and hence uses foreign servers). Nevertheless, it is considered to be a gold mine for academicians. Regards Diptanshu Please do not print this e-mail unless you really need to.

Wikimedia Movement strategy discussions

Hi all, The Wikimedia movement discussions are now in cycle 2 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2017/Cycle_2>, wherein User Groups and other organized groups that support the Wikimedia Movement are invited to review and join the debate. I can be the representative (or "discussion coordinator") of WikiJournal in these discussions. I've mentioned WikiJournal as an important part of making and maintaining Wikimedia projects as respected sources of knowledge.

WikiJournal Council
by Mikael Häggström 16 May '17

Hi WikiJournal participants! Marshallsumter <https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/User:Marshallsumter> has expressed interest in becoming part of WikiJournal Council, which has raised some questions about membership in general. See: https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group#Membership_in_t… Also, I think we should have a separate confidential email for the WikiJournal Council, similarly to what is used by the editorial board of WikiJournal of Medicine in addition to its open-for-everyone email list <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21forum/wijoumed> and the preferred practice of making an online wiki entry whenever possible. Best regards, Mikael
