Banner links must be accessible on smartphones
[edit source]On smartphones, the banners are hard to tap/click on, especially the Preprint one. I have difficulty changing the banners' format. George Ho (discuss • contribs) 12:31, 29 January 2022 (UTC)
- @George Ho: Sorry for mising this earlier! Do you know if you were using the 'mobile view' or 'desktop view' on your smartphone? I've tried to make the tabs re-flow into a grid when on a mobie device, bit I think it only works in 'mobile view'. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 02:06, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Shafee: Using 'mobile view' on Android, the Preprint banner is hard to tap, yet I can access that journal via tapping the icon on the left of the banner. Others are still clickable, yet larger text is annoying on mobile view. --George Ho (discuss • contribs) 06:27, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- @George Ho: Aha, now I see it. Thanks. I was looking at the top banner in grey rather than the list of journals. I'm also getting some of the text overlapping too. I'll aim to fix it up next week. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)talk 23:13, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Reference deposits
[edit source]Hi all! I was taking a look at the WikiJournal User Group participation report over on Crossref's site. This is a useful tool for exploring how rich the metadata that WJUG submits to Crossref along with its DOIs is. It looks like there's lots of room for improvement, some of which would be fairly straightforward to accomplish: the License URLs category, for instance, measures how many articles' metadata include a link to the license under which the papers are distributed (either CC-BY 4.0 or CC-BY-SA 4.0 typically, right?).
What I wanted to look at right now was the References category, in which WJUG is currently scoring 0%. What this means is that none of the 87 articles registered for DOIs by WJUG with Crossref include the references as part of their metadata. This matters for a few reasons. First, reference linking (i.e., including DOIs in references) is required by Crossref's terms of service, and reference depositing (i.e., submitting metadata with references) is strongly encouraged. Second, the inclusion of references in metadata is how Crossref tracks citations. When you see a journal article's "What Cites This" page, you'll often see a few numbers, frequently a Crossref citation count, a Web of Science citation count, and a Google Scholar citation count. On these pages, you are often able to view which articles are specifically citing the article in question too, and in some cases, publishers may preemptively set up modules that autodisplay the citing articles alongside the article itself.
This brings up the third reason to begin depositing references: not only is it good practice for good metadata management's sake itself, but it also has the capability to improve visibility for WikiJournal articles. Consider the WJS article "Beak and feather disease virus: biology and resultant disease"; its first reference is the 1907 article "Parrakeets Moulting". If you visit the Taylor & Francis page for "Parrakeets Moulting", however, you can see in the righthand "Related research" module in the "Cited by" tab that no articles cite this paper. Because references for WJUG articles haven't yet been deposited with Crossref, there's no way to link "Beak and feather disease virus" and "Parrakeets Moulting"; if references were deposited for this paper, then the WJS article would eventually appear as a citing article on the "Parrakeets Moulting" page. Thus, reference linking offers readers of the cited article another connection to the citing WikiJournal article, increasing the visibility of WJUG outputs.
One final reason to consider depositing references is that doing so will grant WJUG eligibility for Crossref's Cited-by service, which is essentially the tool that allows WJUG the ability to see what research is citing WikiJournal articles. Right now, WJUG can access the number of citations for each of its journals' articles through Crossref (WJM, WJS, and WJH) but can't actually see what those citing articles are. Depositing references will grant eligibility for Cited-by which WJUG can opt to enroll in (free!) and access said lists of citing materials for WikiJournal articles.
If depositing references is of interest, the good news is that Crossref has made it pretty easy! References can be deposited manually via the Simple Text Query tool on Crossref's site. All one needs to do is copy the list of references from a WikiJournal article and paste it into the tool. (Note that for some articles, this will be easy; "Beak and feather disease virus: biology and resultant disease" has a unified reference list, but other articles like "Themes in Maya Angelou's autobiographies" have references split between a footnotes and a cited by list and may need to be manually trimmed to remove the repeated "[Author], [date], p. XX" footnotes when submitting.) Simple Text Query then parses the list and connects materials based on their DOIs. Once this is done, the depositor clicks Deposit, enters their email, the Parent DOI (i.e., the DOI of the article for which references are being deposited), and their Crossref depositor credentials.
I have been manually going through all articles in all three journals to make sure that all of them have relevant DOIs included in their references. I have completed WJS, am almost done with WJH, and will then start on WJM. Once this is done, I would be happy to either guide someone interested through beginning to deposit references or take over the project myself, at least to work through the 87-article backlog of existing papers. (If someone with depositor access wants to try making a reference deposit, "Beak and feather disease virus" is in good shape and its reflist is ready to be deposited.) In either case, please let me know if this is something WJUG would be interested in pursuing and how I can help. Please let me know if you have any questions. Kindly —Collin (Bobamnertiopsis)t c 01:02, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

I'm still working through adding DOIs to all references in WJM but I'll try to finish that by the end of the month so all articles in all three journals are ready to be deposited.

- Oh neat, I see references have already been deposited for "Parenting stress" and it's already showing up in the cited articles' Cited By lists (e.g., here). Thanks for doing this! —Collin (Bobamnertiopsis)t c 01:44, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Bobamnertiopsis: Yes, I did Parenting stress and another one (can't remember if it was Kivu Ebola Epidemic or the Leptospirosis) as a trial to see how easy/difficult the process was. Is there a way to check back which one I did? OhanaUnitedTalk page 19:27, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
- @OhanaUnited:, good question. Looking at the dates the DOIs were most recently updated, I'd guess that it was "Leptospirosis", updated 18 July just like "Parenting stress". However, looking at the metadata itself, it looks like only a single reference was actually deposited ("Hussain, A. (2021). Society and culture. International Journal of Scientific Research. 12 (1). 40608-40613.") and it doesn't even seem to be a reference actually cited in the article, so it may be worth it to try depositing refs for that one again. (Compare to the "Parenting stress" metadata where you can see all the references properly located within the metadata itself.) I hope this is useful! —Collin (Bobamnertiopsis)t c 20:52, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Rabeprazole?
[edit source]I was just taking a look at the potential upcoming articles and noticed the 2018 preprint "Rabeprazole" which does not seem to be included on the tracking list despite having received two peer reviews. It also doesn't seem to have a Wikidata item, but I couldn't see anywhere that it had been declined. Just flagging it here to make sure it hasn't slipped through the cracks. Thanks! —Collin (Bobamnertiopsis)t c 20:45, 16 August 2022 (UTC)
- Good catch. I'm contacting the WJM board to find out. OhanaUnitedTalk page 19:31, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
@Bobamnertiopsis: Thanks for catching this. It was indeed an approved article that didn't get published because it fell through the crack. It will be published shortly. OhanaUnitedTalk page 15:28, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
Wikipedia as a bibliographic tool for researchers?
[edit source]Wikijournals give incentives for researchers to write in Wikipedia, by allowing Wikipedia articles to be peer-reviewed and officially counted as academic publications. What if in some cases, researchers did not need incentives because writing in Wikipedia would be directly useful to their own work? The idea is that they would not write on their own results or subject, but on some related subject which they would need to learn. (See this short essay for details.)
Does anyone know examples of this modus operandi? If you are a researcher, does it seem applicable in your own field of research? Sylvain Ribault (discuss • contribs) 21:44, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
Capitalized titles?
[edit source]Hello all,
There's currently an inconsistency whether article titles are written with upper-case or lower-case first letter in its words. I think it's reasonable to have them lower-case, and Wikipedia as well as high impact scholarly journals (such as Nature and The Lancet) do the same. I think this should be added to the Author guidelines. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 20:35, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
- There was some discussion of this last year as well. —Collin (Bobamnertiopsis)t c 16:45, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've added sentence case to the Author guidelines: [1]. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 23:32, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
Proposal to introduce "Inactivity removal policy" to the bylaws
[edit source]Outcome: Approved (see section bottom)
As per September's WikiJournal meetings on September 7 and September 9, I am proposing amendments to the bylaw to introduce an inactivity removal policy in "ARTICLE VII - END OF TERM" to all WikiJournals. The reason for this proposal is to ensure that current editorial board members (editors and associated editors) are active in the activities that support the journal. At the meetings, we identified this issue when we attempted to find peer review coordinators to handle our submission backlogs across the journals. The proposal seeks to ensure that the activities that support the journal are spread out to many individuals and not place a burden on a few active volunteers. The proposed wording can be found at WikiJournal User Group/Individual WikiJournal bylaws/Proposed changes (the inactive policy words being added are in bold). Inactive members will be automatically removed if they do not participate in any WikiJournal activities for past 12 months. They will be given an opportunity to become active again before being removed from the editorial board. Meeting attendees representing all 3 WikiJournals unanimously agreed to proposed amendment. Our proposed inactive removal policy and its approach are similar to other WMF communities over how to handle inactive senior staff. I also included an exemption clause to the inactive removal due to extenuating circumstances if advance notice was given. The voting will be conducted according to ARTICLE III - VOTING with regards to eligibility, quorum and outcome. OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:13, 12 September 2022 (UTC) Support[edit source]
Oppose[edit source]
Neutral[edit source]
Comments[edit source]I think it would be good to specify active. I myself was not active, as no articles were submitted and I never got a reply regarding my idea to organize a special issue. Physikerwelt (discuss • contribs) 05:02, 12 September 2022 (UTC) I'd like to add a few observations:
Outcome: Approved. Valid points have been raised about the consequences of introducing a minimal activity requirement, but overall there is strong support for it, so I hereby mark it as approved. Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 02:23, 18 October 2022 (UTC) References[edit source]

How should unsubmitted preprints be handled?
[edit source]I've noticed that there are a number of old, incomplete articles under the WikiJournal Preprints namespace, many of which are unlikely to be suitable for publication even if they were finished and submitted. A couple of examples are:
- WikiJournal Preprints/COVID-19 ELIMINATION AND CELLDIFFERENTIATION
- WikiJournal Preprints/Cultural Computational Publishing: A Sprint
- WikiJournal Preprints/Medical gallery of Aria Rad
- WikiJournal Preprints/Parts of a Book
- WikiJournal Preprints/Zoosemiotics
Does the WikiJournal project have any standing policies to reject these drafts automatically after some point, or do they just stay in the "unpublished pre-print" state indefinitely? (Is it possible that some of these pages have slipped under the radar, e.g. by not being in the appropriate categories?) Do all of them (especially the ones that never got beyond writing an abstract) need to be preserved for posterity, or can they be deleted after some period of time? Omphalographer (discuss • contribs) 22:13, 12 December 2022 (UTC)
- Ping? I'm also curious about the status of the following two articles:
- These two display a message claiming that they are "an editorial article and [are] published without peer review", which I don't think is intended. Omphalographer (discuss • contribs) 03:26, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
Question regarding WikiJournal and duplicate content
[edit source]Hi!
I have two questions. I searched around a bit and didn't find anything.
- When a stable WikiJournal article is the basis of a separate living page, say on Wikipedia or Wikiversity, do you know if it's possible to use a w:canonical link element to indicate the canonical version of the article for search engines?
- If so, do you know if the WikiJournal User Group has a policy regarding which version is canonical?
Thank you so much! Greg at Higher Math Help (discuss • contribs) 22:34, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Greg at Higher Math Help I don't think canonical link element is supported by MediaWiki. It's limited by the software itself. The canonical version of the page is the WikiJournal PDF, which is linked on the wiki page and on Wikidata. OhanaUnitedTalk page 04:24, 11 March 2023 (UTC)

Preprint Quality
[edit source]I recently had an article accepted at the WIkiJournal of Medicine and was very disappointed with the PDF preprint quality/process (with no insult towards the editors). I know very little about how things work behind the scenes, but my understanding is that the PDF preprints are manually produced using MS Word. Though WikiJournal requires svgs, there is (to my knowledge) no way to retain the vector-ness of the svg files in Word and it generally results in poor quality rasterization. This can even be seen in the header images. I've made a little process to produce a preprint from the wikipedia page that relies on mediawiki2latex, and the editors have uploaded my preprint. You can see I tried to mimic the existing preprint as best as I could given my fairly shallow latex knowledge and the constraints associated with trying to make this as automatic as possible.
I don't have any stats on how much people use preprint PDFs, but I suspect many people rely on them. It is essential that the print quality is up to par any other academic journal. The existing method, I think, it probably too manual and results in an obviously poor quality print that will limit author interest. I've put my basic process here:
https://github.com/mittimithai/wjlatexpreprint
and suggest it that it be used as a basis for coming up with a standard, essentially automated process across all WikiJournals for high quality pdf preprints.
WikiJournals should provide a baseline preprint and authors can then be responsible for custom typesetting. Using latex in this context is a bit different than writing one's own papers, mediawiki2latex output has to be transformed as reliably into PDF as possible. I tried to apply as much appropriate substitution as I could in the perl script but I am sure there can be some improvements made. Maneesh (discuss • contribs) 18:48, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
- Please consider using the Century Schoolbook font as a "serif" for the paragraph regular text, and Franklin Gothic font as a "sans-serif" font for the headers (titles). Or use any appropriate font set for the text and headers that the journal adopted, but the fonts have to fit each other. Maxim Masiutin (discuss • contribs) 20:05, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
- I am not terribly partial to any font, wikimedia2latex makes use of KOMA which does things in certain ways that are partial to the author's views. There does seem to be a lot of "religion" in typesetting with very little of it empirically justified. Feel free to add in a free font to the github repo, I think all one needs to do is change the two lines in maininc.tex. The current lines I think implicitly depend on font locations in an ubntu install. Maneesh (discuss • contribs) 20:55, 1 May 2023 (UTC)

Rejection rates
[edit source]What are the rejection rates of WikiJournals? Juandev (discuss • contribs) 13:19, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Juandev Very good questions. We have not tallied the overall rejection rate (or individual rejection rate within each journal). Using 2023's data, my estimation is about 60-75% rejection rate in the medicine and science journals. But the overall % does not reflect the amount of work performed behind the scenes. Just over half of the rejected articles are "desk reject" or author filled out the submission form but never submitted the text. The rest are due to author abandoning submission partway (stale submission), rejection after peer review or author no longer has time to complete revision. OhanaUnitedTalk page 03:06, 19 September 2023 (UTC)
- OK. I see. Thx. Juandev (discuss • contribs) 10:17, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
Peer Reviews
[edit source]As per my understanding off WikiJournal of Humanities/Peer reviewers only qualified external professionals are allowed to formally peer-review articles.
Which seems a bit unnecessary considering anyone can write articles, also Nupedia vibes, this seriously hurts the journal's growth due to lack of volunteers.
I believe that editors on wikipedia who've written extensively on related topics, should also be invited to peer-review articles, this would add a lot more volunteers (thus making the whole process faster and smoother), and get qualified people from wikipedia over to wikiversity.

Current status of WikiJournals
[edit source]I hate to say this, but so far, I've yet to see WikiJournal revolutionize academic journals in the way that Wikipedia affected encyclopedias severely. Furthermore, WikiJournals have been kinda slow to publish articles. Also, there have been many other open-access journals, especially ones using CC-BY-NC-ND. Also, many published articles happen to be adapted from Wikipedia articles and then copied (if not adapted) into Wikipedia articles, especially same ones. Maybe these are reasons for WMF to be reluctant to approve further development of WikiJournals.
I did have high hopes for this project, yet my interests in the semi-project has.... waned. George Ho (discuss • contribs) 23:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
- I appreciate all the work that went into the publication of an article I worked on last year, without insulting the editors, I was overall disappointed (though they editorial team was able to get outstanding reviewers that were very patient with a very deficient initial draft). I proposed a mostly automated pdf workflow (see above) with no uptake/feedback. Good quality PDFs, I think, are a very very high priority. The current quality is very low and suffers from (what seems to be) a fairly manual process and immediately obvious rasterization artifacts which look unprofessional. Automation to bring the journal to a professional standard is essential before greater aspirations. Maneesh (discuss • contribs) 18:35, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

- It might help if I put forth two questions. There is no need for answers to both, since an answer to one of them would allow us to delete a large number of image files:
- Are the files at Category:Files uploaded by PCano - unused of any use to the WikiJournals?
- I vaguely remember an issue with Wikiversity image files that involved the WikiJournals and files that are imbedded in WikiJournal pdf files, but don't remember the details. The question is this: If a file is not used by any WikiJournal page, is it OK to delete it? --Guy vandegrift (discuss • contribs) 19:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
Hello, I wanted to get in touch with you about a part of this process. The submissions board at WikiJournal article nominations is no longer being maintained. Evolution and evolvability has been inactive since November 2023 and has not responded to multiple attempts of mine to get in touch with him. I submitted an article there more than 4 months ago and have not even received confirmation of its submission. I notice the previous section on the status of the WikiJournals, and I must say that I am also disheartened by my attempt to contribute. I hope that someone on this end of the process will come over to English Wikipedia and fill in this gap so that the article pipeline is no longer so flawed.
