It's more of the latter - the articles are actually drafted and reviewed on a separate MediaWiki instance (e.g. http://topicpages.ploscompbiol.org/wiki/Multi-state_modeling_of_biomolecules ), then published in the journal, then on Wikipedia.

When precisely do you intend to post the piece? We're working on a video about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Open_Access/Signalling_OA-ness that should be ready in the next few days and may be a good fit for your post. d. _______________________________________________ OpenAccess mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/openaccess
