A proposal for WikiJournals to become a new sister project

Over the last few years, the 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)
• From-scratch articles that, after review, are imported to Wikipedia (example)
• Original research articles that are not imported to Wikipedia (example)

Proposal: WikiJournals as a new sister project

From a Wikipedian point of view, this is a complementary system to Featured article review, but bridging the gap with external experts, implementing established scholarly practices, and generating citable, doi-linked publications.

edit-a-thon at MPI Erlangen

Hi, I was asked to help for the organization of Wikipedia:Edit-a-thon/Q-SORT Wikipedia Edit-a-thon 2019 at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light in Erlangen. I am not sure about the workload, the topics will be related moslty to electron physics and applications. I will try to use only sandboxes so we can publish later with calm. If anybody want to take a look, the page is there. Most of the communication and suggestions in preapration of the event are by mail.--Alexmar983 (talk) 11:50, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
