Abstract

The scholarly community has been slow in adopting some of the core components of Wikimedia projects - online collaboration, public version histories and reuse-friendly licenses. What can you do about that?

Detailed proposal

This session has several components, which will be developed consecutively after a brief general introduction about online collaboration, public version histories and reuse-friendly licenses in the context of academia. These components are:

  • Wikifying research workflows (see earlier talk)
  • Wikifying research institutions and scholarly societies (see earlier talk)
  • Wikifying research funding (think how the processes around WMF grants differ from those of classical research grants)
  • Wikifying scholarly publishing (see earlier talk)
  • Wikifying conferences (think how Wikimania differs from scholarly conferences)
  • Wikifying coursework (think Education Portal)
Track
Cultural and Educational Outreach, WikiCulture and Community
