Hello Wikipedians,
Over the last few years, the WikiJournal User Group https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group has been building and testing a set of peer reviewed academic journals on a mediawiki platform. The main types of articles are:
- Existing Wikipedia articles submitted for external review and feedback (example https://doi.org/10.15347/wjs/2018.006) - From-scratch articles that, after review, are imported to Wikipedia ( example https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2018.001) - Original research articles that are not imported to Wikipedia (example https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Acute_gastrointestinal_bleeding_from_a_chronic_cause:_a_teaching_case_report )
*Proposal: WikiJournals as a new sister project https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal*
From a Wikipedian point of view, this is a complementary system to Featured
article review, but bridging the gap with external experts https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group/Peer_reviewers, implementing established scholarly practices https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group/Ethics_statement, and generating citable, doi-linked publications https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group/Publishing.
Please take a look and support/oppose/comment! All the best, Thomas Shafee
