<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<br>
<br>Apologies if you have already seen a similar notification from the watchlist or on a different mailing list elsewhere.<br>
<br>We are currently proposing to establish a new Wikimedia sister project called WikiJournal. <a href="https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/tcNzCr0qw9iLX1EkHyKg4l" target="_blank">https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group</a><br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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).<br>
<br>A full description of the sister project proposal can be found at: <a href="https://protect-za.mimecast.com/s/v3TsCvgxAZfMo2xYcoHf5-" target="_blank"> https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal</a>. You are also encouraged to provide feedback and comments about the proposal.<br>
