Dear friends
I would like to let you know that the property proposal for Altmetric ID
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Property_proposal/Altmetric_ID> has
been approved (P5530 <https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P5530>). The
next step would be to find people who can develop a gadget
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Gadgets> to pull the dynamic data
from Altmetric servers. On my personal capacity I will try to find the
right people who can get it done. I would be glad to get any helpful inputs
from anybody in this regard.
Now, talking about working together, I know that somehow we had entered
into some misunderstandings which possibly creates a set back. But I would
like to point that all of us here are volunteers working toward a cause
which is rather selfless. So, I would encourage you all to participate
whole heartedly and to take WikiJournals ahead as a whole. We need to
understand that we need to rise beyond our personal reservations and
apprehension and strive to contribute to cumulative and collaborative
development. While working at WJM, while communicating and collaborating
with its members I have always felt at home and among peers who are
motivated and caring. I believe that the same can be extended to the other
groups as well. Rest assured that victimization is out question and that
you have no reason to get anxious. Rest assured that if something seems
broken, it can be fixed, and that you have peers who are waiting to take
the plunge in an attempt to help you out.
I think that all of us, from each of the individual projects (WJM, WJS and
WJH) need to come together as a single team and lay down concrete plans
about the subsequent course of action, and then act upon it.
While attending Wikimania I interacted with a number of people and while I
found overall enthusiasm, I also found that people were hardly aware of its
existence. Personally, despite being a medical editor for 10 years, and
despite WikiJournal of Medicine being in place since 2014, it was not
before 2-3 years had elapsed after its inception that I came to know about
its existence. With WikiJournal of Science and Humanities coming up, we
need to reach out to people and make them aware of their existence. About a
month back I had put a proposal to the mailing list and Thomas had
augmented it with yet another. Neither of the proposals bore any
significant response from the board members of the three journals. I am
forwarding the thread along as I believe that it needs to be taken ahead.
We needs to understand that what we are working upon is still in its
infancy and there is a lot to be done. We need to work together. I need a
show of hands about who are willing to jump in.

Hi
With the arrival of WJS and WJS, the scope of WikiJournals has become
extended to a wide audience. I think that we need to figure out ways to
reach out to people and make them aware of the existence of such a
platform.
I would suggest forming a template message and to reach it out to
targettable audience.
The message should contain:
* What WikiJournals are all about.
* Summary of the google doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kPVyOXvrhnUmBMF9sFDk6sHpxP-YReHFIWYilesFMao>
for WMF blog interview.
* The link to the WMF blog post, in case it has already been posted by that
point of time.
* How the users could group together, collaborate, and form new journals in
case they can procure a motivated team.
* Any other points.
As a first step we can post the message on the talk pages of participants
of:

Hello Dr. Das and WikiJournal Board Members,
I think Dr. Das’ suggestion to reach out to active Wikipedians to promote
the WikiJournals is a good one.
I also think that we should promote these journals to the academic and
professional associations, and to college and university libraries, so that
people know that they exist.
There are still people in academia who do not see this work as legitimate
scholarship and I believe that we have an opportunity to turn that around.
It may be a good idea for the board members to create a webinar about these
journals, in conjunction with one or two relevant organizations, that can
be shared and stored someplace.
Rachel

Good points. I think we should simultaneously reach out to Wikipedians and
non-wikipedians.
The journals also have a $400 budget
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/WikiJournal_2018> for
social media advertising this year. I suggest that we do four promoted
posts for $20 each (estimated reach 1,000-10,000 ppl) as comparisons:
1. WikiJMed twitter
2. WikiJMed facebook
3. WikiJSci twitter
4. WikiJSci facebook
Something general with an image like example
<https://twitter.com/WikiJSci/status/1009719417180057600>, example
<https://twitter.com/WikiJSci/status/1009575322205868033> or example
<https://twitter.com/WikiJSci/status/1010684490753044482>. If people agree,
I'll liaise with Mikael Haggstrom to link the social media accounts to the
bank account that holds WikiJournal funds. Also I plan do add a link
<https://goo.gl/forms/vmvOr7vc8XYLJXms1> to the discussion pages where
anyone can suggest social media posts.
There are posters available for WikiJMed
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikiJournal_of_Medicine_Poster.pdf>
and WikiJSci
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WikiJournal_of_Science_Poster.pdf>
to put up at conferences and dept tearooms. Here is the link
<https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B4LQzkvkbO9YY1pMUXFfa1EwQTg> to the ppt
for them if someone wants to make a version for WikiJHum (or something
entirely new!).
All the best,
Thomas

Hi all,
Has anyone developed any graphics/posters or other printed materials to
promote the WikiJournals? I know some on the editorial boards going to
Wikimania said they would do something, but I haven’t heard anything of
specifics yet. Do we want to get anything printed to handout about the
journals to help grow awareness? I’ll be there and I am glad to support
this however I can.
Please do let me know your thoughts of ways to promote, even if you aren’t
going to be there. I would love to get the word out about this amazing
opportunity we have for content contributors to publish their rigorous
curation of content.
Best,
Jackie

Dear Jackie
I would be attending Wikimania. I have been assigned 10 mins in the medical
series of talks. The talk is intended for a brief introduction on WJM. I
would be happy to co-ordinate with you but have not yet prepared the
slides. Will keep you updated.
Regards
Diptanshu
