Indeed... there is no wikiversity phd. Nor is one planned in the near
future in any language, as far as I know.
Getting WV courses onto accredited platforms seems like a step towards
alignment (or perhaps first: working w/ an existing set of accredited
courses and getting their materials onto WV as a non-accredited space to
find and learn from those materials!)

Hi Amirouche,
It's definitely possible to write articles in WikiJournals without a PhD (
example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjs/2018.006>). External peer reviewers
are invited in the same way whether the author is some top prof or an
undergrad.
I definitely think that WikiJournal articles can be useful for Wikiversity
courses (example <https://doi.org/10.15347/wjm/2017.006>, example
<https://doi.org/10.15347/wjs/2018.005>). Bu I think that the two projects
have different technical needs.
As far as I know, Wikiversity is currently not accredited in any country -
a process usually tightly regulated by governments (Australia example
<https://www.teqsa.gov.au/>). Wikiversity is therefore more like P2PU
<https://www.p2pu.org/en/about/> than Open University
<http://www.openuniversity.edu/courses>, in that it can offer courses and
provide completion badges, but not yet award formal PhDs. I don't now
whether there are any users working on it, but accreditation for
Wikiversity courses would probably be most easily achieved by partnering
with established accredited universities, a bit like coursera
<https://www.coursera.org/degrees>, but that would still be a pretty major
project.
Hope that is useful info!
All the best,
Thomas

Hello,
I am new to the mailing list and more generaly on wikipedia as
contributor
and as student in wikiversity.
I did not know about WikiJournals as part of Wikiversity. My only remark
will be that the wikiveristy
PhD program is in poor shape. I was lost in the various tools I had to
use
and broken links.
Most if not all conversation are old-ish and doesn't say the PhD program
is
active or working
at all. (French wikiveristy is in much better shape).
I am certain that the implementation of wikijournal as sister project
will
have more impact for WikiJournal.
My point is with a better english wikiversity, both could have more
impact.
I think, forking wikijournals outside wikiverity will have a bad impact
on
wikiversity.
Also, is it possible to write a publication in the journal without prior
PhD?
Can publication in the wikijournal help obtain the wikiveristy PhD?
Thanks!
