Hello all,
The WikiJournals should soon be implementing a statement of ethics https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Draft_of_ethics_statement, covering issues such as:
- plagiarism - misconduct - reviewer confidentiality - harassment
Many of these issues are common to all journals. In addition, a few are unique to the Wikipedia-integration features of WikiJournals: large group authorship https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Draft_of_ethics_statement#Wiki_Authorship, attribution of content from Wikipedia https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Draft_of_ethics_statement#Wiki_Attribution, and the definition of a preprint server https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Draft_of_ethics_statement#Wiki_Preprint_definition .
It would be good to have as many eyes cast over it as possible to check that we are happy to stand by it. We can also update and amend it over time as needed.
