to a webinar
To: <oadiamondstudy(a)groupes.renater.fr>
Dear colleagues,
Last year you participated in the "OA Diamond Study", a collective work
undertaken by a group of 10 organisations commissioned by Science Europe
and cOAlition S to explore open access journals that are free for readers
and authors, and better ways to support them in the future.
I am pleased to announce that our work is now completed and that the
results of the study are available in the following outputs:
- Findings Report - DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4558704
<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4558704>
- Recommendations Report- DOI:10.5281/zenodo.4562790
<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4562790>
- References Library - DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4562816
<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4562816>
- Journals Inventory - DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4562828
<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4562828>
- Dataset - DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.4553103
<https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4553103>
As the project coordinator, I want to sincerely thank you for your
contribution to this study. Without you, and the time you offered in
answering our questions, our study would not have been possible. We
dedicated some time also to analyse the open text answers many of you
provided in the survey. We hope our report reflected well enough your
valuable input.
Finally, I just want to inform you that the authors of the study will
participate in a webinar organised by SPARC Europe the 9th of April at 2PM
CEST, to answer questions from the community on this work, and start a
collective discussion on the follow-up actions to consider. If you are
interested, please register here:
https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_B5DpGZwRQq-v5u-lgFddWQ
P.S : You received this email because you participated in the OA Diamond
online survey in 2020 and answered 'yes' to the question if you wanted to
receive further information about this study.
Kind regards,
--

Have there been any discussions within the WikiJournal UG about the Movement Strategy funding opportunities? Mehrdad posted this on our Discussion page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group#Movement_Strate… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group#Movement_Strate…> though I have am not sure there has been discussion about it, as nobody replied there (nor through this list, I believe). This is separate from the SAPG or Rapid Grant discussions.
One of my user groups met this past week and had a discussion about what we need, and Mehrdad in the Strategy Team was able to join us. One thing became very clear — there is a short timeframe remaining for affiliates to identify areas of need and interest https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit… <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transit…> and submit requests for funding next year. There are various regional efforts in process to help move this along, but we are thematic and non-regional, so may otherwise fall through the cracks so to speak if we do not somehow identify 2 or 3 needs we have, aligned with the Movement Strategy, that could benefit from funding over the next 12-18 months.
It seems if affiliates do not use this time to actively identify needs and request funds, we will miss out on them through this process.
Thoughts?

Thank you everyone for additional feedback! I have now submitted the report
as per forwarded emails below.
To comment on some of the questions that came up in the process:
- I have not heard back yet from the US non-profit application.
- Only the section Activity_report_Jan_1_-_May_31
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/WikiJournal_2020/Repor…>
is
submitted now, and we will fill in the other sections after New Year.
Still, it is nice to have important items added already now, while they are
more fresh in mind. Also, I think we should keep separating events
occurring before and after May 31/June 1, so that we can use the latter for
next year's activity report.
Best regards,
Mikael

Hello all WikiJournal participants,
As per the email below (previously sent to the boards), we need to give an
activity report for January 1 to May 31 this year. I have made a draft at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/WikiJournal_2020/Report
I'd appreciate it if you also had a look to see if there is something else
relevant to add to it, before we submit it.
Best regards,
Mikael

Dear Colleagues,
The Association for Psychological Science (APS) is launching a new open access journal, and the president, Shinobu Kitayama, wrote a column and had a panel discussion about big picture with OA.
Here's the presidential column:
https://www.psychologicalscience.org/observer/open-access-journal-publishing
Here's the panel discussion:
https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/aps-president-roundtable-open-acc…
Three reasons for sharing:
(a) The article is interesting and, to me, anyway, informative. I had not known of Gandhi championing an early version of OA, for example (though it certainly makes sense)
(b) We could write comments on the article, and advertise the WJ of Science (and the rest of our suite) there
(c) It is another development in the OA landscape
APS is much smaller than APA (less than ¼ the membership), and much smaller as a publishing house, but it is the premier organization for non-clinical scientific psychology (the sort that would send articles to WJ Science). The larger APA just closed down its sole OA journal (Archives of Scientific Psychology) and is 100% traditional publishing with the rest of its journals and books.
Psychology is interesting as a discipline, highly interstitial. There is another part of it (the more humanistic, and the psychodynamic, and also perhaps the qualitative and ethnographic) that would overlap a lot more with the WJ Humanities space, and of course clinical psychology would overlap with WJ Medicine.
I have a second email update coming, but I am keeping separate in the mode of "one topic per email."
Best to all,
Eric

Hi Fellow Wiki Journal Editors,
I am writing to you about the upcoming release of Wikipedia @ 20: Stories
of an Incomplete Revolution <https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/wikipedia-20>.
I edited this volume along with Joseph Reagle. The book contains reflective
essays about Wikipedia’s first 20 years from a wide range of authors. MIT
Press is delighted to offer this book under the CC BY-NC 4.0 license.
We would love you to help spread the word about the book within your
networks – be these academic, media, or personal. You can do this in
several ways:
Tweet now, around the book release on October 20th, and again in January
around Wikipedia’s 20th anniversary
Talk to your department or organization about the possibility of a virtual
event or lecture to mark the book’s publication
Tell any journalists you know about the book, and that they are welcome to
a review copy If you have any questions about this or ideas, please let me
know. We’re getting a solid head start but that will be vital for getting
the word out about the book! Thank you!
I do hope I did not offend anyone with sharing this book via the
WikiJournal list. I know many of you study Wikipedia alongside your
academic work and wanted to share this with you all.
Best,
Jackie
