Dear all,
at the suggestion of Gwinyai I would like to discuss whether or not we
would include in our Author guidelines for future submission the advice
and/or requirement to authors to add a *Plain language summary*.
This has already been included in
https://en.wikiversity.org/
wiki/WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Images_of_Aerococcus_urinae ; but many other
recent articles don't have this.
I think in the spirit of Wikipedia and to make any topic accessible to the
widest possible audience I would welcome these. Several big journals
already use these e.g. Cochrane, JAMA, Ann Intern Med etc. have summaries
for patients. Only sometimes they are written by the authors themselves and
sometimes by the Editors/Journal.
I *support* adding Plain language summaries to the Author Instructions.
PS: I also added a topic for this discussion online:
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Talk:WikiJournal_of_
Medicine/Publishing#Plain_language_summaries
with kindest regards,
Michaël
