En.wikiversity user I'm dealing with was a custodian (in other words a well established user within the community).
Keeping it short my main concern is: we are a naturally democratic community, while the science cannot be. Also, we've been attracting low quality "research" for years.

The peer review process and the editors of the journals in question. This is the same mechanism that prevents gibberish from getting into all peer reviewed literature.

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* <

).
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
