Re: [Wiki-research-l] Transferring CC-BY scientific literature into WP

This sounds right to me. I suspect this might be the first time I posted here, but Stuart's comment makes sense. There really are several entities, such as the activities of Paul Allen's institute's work in AI and scholarship; but, if Wikipedia is to tie in with these cc-by research documents, it s

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Transferring CC-BY scientific literature into WP

Well, we do have some things going for us that they might not, like a translation regime. But I wouldn't pretend to know half of the functionality that we can actually provide given that the papers are properly integrated into Wikidata. On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 6:25 PM Stuart A. Yeates wrote: > G

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Transferring CC-BY scientific literature into WP

Given that there are organisations already organised, funded and operating to preserve and promote open-access research, we might want to think about focusing on getting deep interoperability with them, rather than sucking all the content into Wikisource, where we can't provide half the functionali

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Transferring CC-BY scientific literature into WP

This looks like a job for Wikisource. If nothing else, so long as we can verify their CC licensing is compatible, we can archive and preserve them in perpetuity on WS. Unfortunately I've scarcely contributed to WS personally. I've reached out to a WS admin that I know from Commons. When they reply

Re: [Wiki-research-l] Transferring CC-BY scientific literature into WP

Wikipedia is a tertiary source, built from secondary sources. Journal articles which contain innovative research or new contributions are primary sources. Review articles are secondary sources. The median contribution to wikipedia of most journal articles is going to be nil. Some will contribute d

A wikisource toolchain for importing articles would be wonderful. There is no equivalent place for public comments, categorization, and dense internal linking across such texts. On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 2:36 PM Federico Leva (Nemo) wrote: > Alexandre Hocquet, 17/04/19 20:40: > > My point is : as

[Wiki-research-l] Transferring CC-BY scientific literature into WP

Dear Wikiresearchers, You may be aware that a rising number of scientific publications are published under a CC-BY licence. Roughly describing the politics of academic publishing, one can say that publishers hold on to a very profictable business by paywalling articles, academics tend to pub
