I agree that for WikiJHum, we can circulate to appropriate contacts.

Subject: Re: Hired editor?
I'm overall in favour of hiring a casual editorial assistant who can be assigned basic
tasks if and when the academic editors need it. Such an assistant could be shared amongst
the journals and offered hours based on need at the time. I want to avoid the risk of
overloading busy editors with too much work. The main risk would be if liaising with the
editor took more time than directly doing the task.
Currently the WikiJournal of Humanities has no
submissions<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/b1N5CwVLQmiX5yJZCV_EMi?dom…rg>.
For the other journals, the majority of authors have been invited by editors (very few
people spontaneously hear about the journals). I'd recommend for WikiJHum that editors
contact: A) people in their fields who would likely write good articles and B) people who
have already written a Wikipedia article of sufficient quality to warrant academic
review.

I believe that the job duties must be very specific about coordinating number of articles
per journal, and contacting the peer reviewers in a consistent fashion when there are
articles to be reviewed. I have still not received any notifications of articles to review
for WikiJournal of the Humanities--is it because there have not been any or simply because
no one is coordinating?

Subject: Hired editor?
Hi all WikiJournal participants,
Because of an increased burden in the stage of finding and inviting peer reviewers for
submissions, we've been discussing at WikiJMed about including funds in our next grant
application to Wikimedia for hiring a paid editor to help out in this task. It would be
unfair to have it for only WikiJMed so I take it up with all of us, also since WikiJSci
currently lacks a willing peer review coordinators
<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/RJgXCxnMRvtKpxnqFvvFms?domain=na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com>
for the 2 most recent
submissions<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/53WnCyoNVrcEGLqmcQC2At?dom…om>.
A paid editor could look up potential peer reviewers and either invite them directly, or
prepare an email list with links to their credentials to board members.
A paid editor would be able to help in many tedious tasks, including to (citing
Thomas' entry at WikiJMed):
· send followup emails at certain dates
· track submissions
· copyediting (for a wikijournal this could be things like image formatting,
finding who images should be attributed to, checking ref formatting)
· formatting the final pdf upon acceptance
· managing the doi submission to crossref upon acceptance
· If having bot-experience, program bots for technical tasks such as to keep the
{{article_info}} template synchronised between main page and subpage and add accepted
articles to the relevant issue page
These tasks would not involve direct knowledge of the subject material. The idea would be
to have them handle those elements to free up time for the medical/academic editors to
focus on specialist tasks.
What do you think for WikiJSci and WikiJHum?
Best regards,
Mikael
