One reason; reach. At nowiki we vere approached some years ago by a university about publishing cutting edge research in fish farming. We could not publish their work because some claimed it to be "original research". Sure it was, and it was darn good original research too. I don't think that was a single occurence, other communities has probably had similar questions.

In years I've seen countless attempts to put gibberish on our projects which were eventually defeated by the "no original research" principle. Even en.wikiversity struggled with a now banned user (and his friends/enablers) pushing lots of gibberish about cold fusion, paranormal and Wikimedia user themselves. So I ask, what will prevent this kind of gibberish from slowing infiltrating such project?
Don't get me wrong but I think this is the first question in order to define a "business model" for the project: why would a "serious" research group choose to publish there instead of already existing OA journals or classical PR journals?

Yes, we put together a little checklist back in round one (*link* < https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group#Notes_on_Plan_S_...
).
Initially there were a few items that are currently not achieved (e.g. JATS-compliant XML formatting). The revised Plan_S has reduced stringency and all the items that weren't hit happen to be optional. That being said, things like JATS-compliant XML and citation metadata would be valuable to implement anyway for machine readability.

It already is Plan-S compliant :-)

Plan-S unfortunately is looking at allowing ND content.

Is it intended that the journals should be Plan-S compliant?

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_gastrointestin...
)
*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
