Hi all WikiJournal participants,
The outcome of a discussion at
Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#WikiJournal_of_Science
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#WikiJournal_of_Science>
is basically that WikiJournal of Science can be an acceptable source in
Wikipedia. I've made an update in its guidelines
WikiJournal_of_Science/Editorial_guidelines#Wikipedia_inclusion
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Science/Editorial_guidelines#Wikipedia_inclusion>.
I also mentioned it on its Publishing
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Science/Publishing> page,
because I think this is a major incentive for authors, to potentially reach
the sometimes hundreds of thousands of readers every month for the most
popular Wikipedia articles.
WikiJSci has actually surpassed WikiJMed in this regard, since Wikipedia
inclusion of material in the latter is mainly restricted to images [inclusion
guidelines]
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Editorial_guidelines#Wikipedia_inclusion>.
Still, those underlying discussions [1]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine/Archive_47#.22Nomination.22_of_steroidogenesis_article_in_Wikiversity_to_be_used_as_reference>
took place before there was a requirement for at least 2 independent
reviewers for each article, and when participation was much lower. I
therefore think the topic can be brought up again in a near future, but I
think we should first see the response to the first usages of WikiJSci
articles as Wikipedia references.
Best regards,
Mikael
