Hi all WikiJournal participants,
Applications are now open for becoming a technical editor of WikiJournal.
The description page of the job, the hiring process, and how to apply, is
found at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group/Technical_editor
As mentioned there, the hiring process will consist of first looking among
current project participants, so I hope you'll consider it.
Applications are made at
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group/Technical_editor,
and community discussions regarding applicants can be made there as well.
Best regards,
Mikael
Thank you for your email (which I am not sure I should have received).
I recently expressed an interest in WikiJournal but, as I have no
experience of the Journal, do not think I am suitable for an editorial
position at this time.
Nevertheless, I am a scientifically-minded doctor of Medicine so, time
permitting, I might be able to proof-read or help in other ways.
Best wishes, Peter
Hi all,
I've been too busy lately to reply earlier on the technical editor
discussions, but to continue the thread forwarded below, it should indeed
be the primary responsibility of peer review coordinators to arrange peer
reviews
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group/Editorial_guidelines…>,
but I do think a technical editor can offer to help out, at least in
apparently overdue cases. I made a separate page for the role (here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group/Technical_editor>),
now with the following wording for the discussed task:
"Assisting in arranging peer reviews
<https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group/Editorial_guidelines…>,
by regularly checking the potential upcoming articles, and offer assistance
to peer review coordinators at least in articles with delayed progression.
Such assistance may be in organizing lists of names, credentials and emails
of potential peer reviewers."
I've also started a draft of a potential contract there:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group/Technical_editor.
One issue is the amount of compensation. Although it might be an idea to
determine fixed amounts for specific tasks as mentioned in the October
meeting
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/12zNLAyqzHUajBTW29NE2hs2mNbgY9CVnh386UWo…>,
for now I think we have to apply an hourly rate, and focus on hiring
someone who seems reliable in reporting the total time spent. At least
initially, it's also important for the technical editor to document the
time spent for different tasks. Even if it won't lead to a decision to put
a price tag on each task, such detailed reports will help us decide what
tasks the technical editor should do.
As for the exact hourly amount, it varies worldwide, for example in US
being $29 to $38 per hour [1]
<https://www.salary.com/research/salary/benchmark/editor-hourly-wages>, and
in India being about $4 per hour [2].
<https://www.payscale.com/research/IN/Job=Editor/Salary> I think we can
start offering something closer to the latter. Since it is a non-profit
organization, I think the position can still appeal to high income
countries, and we could always increase it if we don't find any fitting
candidate willing to do it for that salary. To have somewhere to start the
discussion, I put $5 in the current contract draft. I appreciate
suggestions for improvement to it.
Best regards,
Mikael

Wikimedia has just opened this year's community wishlist
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020> for new
software features. It's focused on the smaller projects this year, so might
be relevant to WikiJournals.
>
We could include some items from the WikiJournal technical wishlist
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal/Technical_wishlist> (espec
those that might be relevant to multiple projects). We should make sure
we're transparent about which ones would be useful for multiple projects
and which just for WikiJournals. Whilst the project is hosted within
Wikiversity, that'd be the logical category to tag. Would anyone be happy
to help out with this?
All the best,
Thomas
