This is why I think a wiki for research would be so cool. Again, just imagine Wikipedia without the "no original research" restriction. "Why would people contribute to a wiki Research Hub?" is very different from "Why would people contribute to a Wiki Studies journal?" People from the fields you mentioned might have many (different) reasons for participating in cutting edge, massively multiauthor, and/or highly cross-disciplinary work ON a wiki. As for where they publish in the end, that would presumably be up to them. However, it would also be relatively easy create a collection of "overlay journals" on top of the wiki research hub, with individual review boards who were qualified to deal with particular selections of topics (E.g. the "Wiki Journal of Journalism and Media Studies", the "Wiki Journal of Computer and Information Sciences", etc.) It seems to me that if we built support for research practices in general, support for research publication practices would follow in due course. _______________________________________________ Wiki-research-l mailing list Wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wiki-research-l
