Hi Folks,
We encourage each and everyone of you to create a program submission. You can submit an interactive workshop or panel, a lecture, a short lighting talk or a poster for our dedicated poster session. Submissions are catered to both onsite and online (live or pre-recorded) or a hybrid combination. We would love to see Wiki Journal program submissions from all over the world, and this year there is an 'Research, Science and Medicine' track.
The theme for this year's Wikimania is Diversity, Collaboration, Future. Topics that strengthen collaboration on research are topics we like to see this year.
Session submissions for Wikimania 2023 are open until 28 March.

Hi everyone. This year I am part of wikimania program subcommittee. We have
specialized tract for "Medicine, Research and science". I encourage

Hello fellow Wikimedians!
I wanted to invite you and your communities to participate in a series of
upcoming webinars the Wikimedia Foundation is hosting in collaboration with
the International Science Council examining the combatting of online
disinformation around scientific issues and how the Wikimedia model can be
a tool to share accurate scientific knowledge with the global community.
The first webinar, Managing Knowledge Integrity on Information Platforms
<https://council.science/events/managing-knowledge-integrity/>, will take
place on 16 March at 13:00 UTC and will explore Wikimedia projects as
models for safeguarding the provenance of scientific information online,
including the benefits and challenges of our projects relative to other
models for digital platforms. The second webinar, Building Special Projects
on Wikipedia: The Covid Case Study
<https://council.science/events/building-special-projects-on-wikipedia/>,
will take place on 30 March at 13:00 UTC and will explore how editors and
researchers can mobilize to create content around special themes on
Wikipedia, focusing on the Wikimedia community’s response to the COVID
pandemic as a case study.
You can register and find more information about these webinars at the
links above. Please feel free to share this invitation widely within your
communities and networks.
Best regards,

Dear colleagues,
On one of the manuscripts I am editing, the reviewer initially agreed to
publish her name, and now is requesting upon revision that her name be
removed.
Needless to say that this puts us in a tricky situation.
I would therefore propose that either we clearly state that identity if
revealed on the first set of reviewer comments, cannot be hidden anymore.
Or, maybe more cautiously, that we shield identity until the article is
published (which is common in many journals). Because often discontent
arises during the revision process.
Your thoughts please,
Thank you
Michaël
Hello everyone,
As per September's WikiJournal meetings, we are proposal to introduce an inactivity removal policy which will apply to current editorial board members (editors and associated editors) if they do not participate in WikiJournal activities for past 12 months.
Full details of the proposed bylaw amendment can be viewed at https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group#Proposal_to_int…. We would appreciate your input on this proposal.
Thanks,
Andrew
