Wikiversity Journal

I'm delighted to hear that you find interest in this project

Your idea is pretty much what Wikiversity Journal is about. Authors email article submissions to me (or they write them directly online). Our "elected editors" that decide whether or not to publish articles is the editorial board (Wikiversity Journal of Medicine/Editorial board) as I see you've noticed. Membership in the editorial board doesn't exclude contributing with articles as well. The main types of works that we are looking for are those that include images that can be added in Wikipedia articles, as well as reviews whose text can be added in Wikipedia articles. Let me know if you have any such project that you want published. I just got back from a weekend trip, and I will now start an email conversation among the current editorial board members to support your participation. In the meantime, here's a virtual tour of project-related pages: 

• Wikiversity Journal of Medicine, the main page of the medical journal. This is where published articles are listed.
• Wikiversity Journal, the main page of Wikiversity Journal, with a description of the purpose of it. Hopefully, there will one day be journals of other subjects as well, such as physics and biology.
• Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine/Wikiversity Journal, the journal's page at WikiProject Medicine. This is where articles are announced when it is time for the editorial board to discuss whether they should be included in Wikiversity Journal of Medicine.
• Wikiversity Journal of Medicine/Publishing, the publishing guidelines. This page includes information for authors who want to submit articles to the journal.
• Wikiversity Journal of Medicine/Editorial board.
• Wikiversity:Peer review#Recommended process, peer review guidelines. Still, performing such peer reviews is not a requirement of every editorial board member, because every article will already be peer reviewed when reaching the editorial board. So far, those peer reviews are usually done by me, but we may later have a listing of volunteering peer reviewers for different medical specialties.

Hi Mikael, thanks for the welcome and overview. I will have a look at it all and I will see you on the talk pages. All the best, Taketa (discuss • contribs) 07:02, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi, and thank you for the ideas for how to improve the journal. I will take a closer look there soon. Did you get my email by the way? I sent by your "Email user" page. The email basically contained what can now be seen at Wikiversity Journal of Medicine/Contribute and an expanded Wikiversity Journal of Medicine/Editorial board, after some recent correspondence in the editorial board. If you're still interested, email me at haggstrom.mikaelwikiversityjournal.org with your real name and an acceptance of the confidentiality policies, such as by "I will act in accordance with the confidentiality policies of Wikiversity Journal of Medicine".
