Background
- For technical reasons, publishing was historically a separate step, performed about once per iteration of the research cycle
- Publishing every relevant bit of information immediately at each step is technically feasible now, and the remaining hurdles are cultural ones.
Wikis as platforms for science communication
- Wikis can be used, in principle, for any aspect of scholarly communication, as detailed in this comparison of wiki- and paper-based communication systems and the related blog post.
- Examples exist for all steps of the research cycle, except successful applications to major funders (see this overview for some attempts)
Wikis as platforms for scholarly publishing
- Conferences: Stand-alone site / contextualized schedule / contextualized talks and Posters (possibly also as clickable imagemaps, like here)
- Research papers: Accompanied by wiki article, contextualized on-wiki, links to wikis amongst other sources
- Publication lists (incl. supplementary materials and in principle direct links to the raw data)
- built-in article-level metrics at bottom of page and via What links here (which could also be used for other pages, e.g. those hosting images, references, or datasets), author-level metrics via Special:Contributions, further aggregation possible (e.g. at the level of research projects, labs or thematic workgroups)
Wikis as platforms for Open Access publishing
- The majority of wiki platforms are open access by default, and most variants of wiki software can handle user rights in great detail
- Stresses the re-use part of CC licenses (e.g. for images) — an aspect of OA publishing that does not receive much attention outside research blogs (cf. detailed discussion with respect to the American Physical Society, arxiv and Quantiki, and the final outcome: APS authors keep copyright over derivative works).
