I don't think we need a bank account per se.

I've now started a draft of a rapid grant to fund us through next year: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wik i/Grants:Project/Rapid/WikiJournal_2018 Now that WikiJournal as a whole is a non-profit organization we could add funding for creating a bank account for the project for about $120, but as the expenses are still relatively overseeable I can act as treasurer with my private account, and keep the receipts until it's time to report.

I would insist on addition of another 400 USD (50 USD x 8) for strategic promotions including select facebook posts and also possibly elsewhere. It is very important to reach out to the academic community first. Regards Diptanshu Please do not print this e-mail unless you really need to.

Agreed. But we need to reach out to the right people. Any better suggestions about how to do this?

Thanks Gwinyai for your support. Targetted ads were what I was talking about. Apart from facebook ads, google ads also carry similar prospects. I was just wondering if we could set up the right strategy and reach out to people searching for open access journals without any apc or may be for publication in leading journals like nejm. I am just thinking out loud and my thoughts would require refinement. Regards Diptanshu Please do not print this e-mail unless you really need to.
