My point is : as it can be imagined that the number of CC-BY scientific
papers will likely sky-rocket in the next years, would not it be
relevant to try to organise "CC-BY scientific papers" driven edit-a-thons
Importing text and images from freely licensed papers to Wikimedia wikis
is a common practice. Several initiatives exist to further spread it.
Wikimedia entities have stressed the importance of "libre open access"
(free licenses) for over a decade now.
When we rewrote the terms of use in 2009, we made sure to make such
imports easy:

Many local explanations and tools also exist, like:
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copying_text_from_other_sources#Can_I_copy_from_open_license_or_public_domain_sources?>
The biggest import happened on Wikimedia Commons:

Larger imports of text have been discussed several times, mostly for
Wikisource:
