Hi everyone,

The WikiJournals are very proud to announce that we’ve won an open publishing award in the ‘Open Publishing Models’ category!

“This is also the model that the judges found most interesting. WikiJournals play in the space between mass collaborative knowledge cultures, such as Wikipedia, and more contained, linear models seen in peer reviewed journals.

…

WikiJournals could be the ultimate paradoxical conclusion of the battle between legacy post-paper publication models and the web, romantic notions of authorship, and networked collaboration. Whatever the case, it is provocative, fascinating, and quite successful on its own terms. Of course without open content, this model would not be possible. This, together with the use of open source software and an interesting model for open access publishing, makes WikiJournals a standout open project.” - Full judges decision here

Thank you to everyone involved as authors, reviewers, editors and all other contributors. WikiJournals is what it is because of you. And thank you of course to the Coko foundation for their continued work to encourage innovation in collaborative knowledge.

What a great way to enter 2020!
