*Subject:* [Wikimedia Education] WikiJournal: A proposal for new Wikimedia
sister project



Hi everyone,

Apologies if you have already seen a similar notification from the
watchlist or on a different mailing list elsewhere.

We are currently proposing to establish a new Wikimedia sister project
called WikiJournal. https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group
<https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/tcNzCr0qw9iLX1EkHyKg4l>

Our goal is to bridge the academic-Wikipedia by enabling academics,
scholars and professionals to contribute expert knowledge to the Wikimedia
movement in the familiar academic publishing format while providing
scholars with citable articles for performance evaluation.

Currently, WikiJournal is hosted under Wikiversity and is divided three
journals (WikiJournal of Medicine, WikiJournal of Science and WikiJournal
of Humanities). We are providing an avenue for academics to publish in
open-access peer-reviewed journal with no publication cost (i.e. open
access diamond/platinum). We accept articles in various formats: reviews
(with many of them integrated directly into Wikipedia), original research,
case studies, and images/galleries (with integration into Commons).

A full description of the sister project proposal can be found at:

encouraged to provide feedback and comments about the proposal.
