    WikiJournal User Group is a publishing group of open-access, free-to-publish, Wikipedia-integrated academic journals. <seo title=" WJM, WikiJMed, Wiki.J.Med., WikiJMed, Wikiversity Journal User Group, WikiJournal WikiMed, Free to publish, Open access, Open-access, Non-profit, online journal, Public peer review "/>

    The mission of the WikiJournals is to publish scholarly works with no cost for the authors, apply quality checks on submissions by expert academic peer review, and make accepted works available online free of charge in perpetuity.

    WikiJournals publish a range of article formats. These include broad review articles that become Wikipedia pages (either written from scratch, or adapted from existing Wikipedia pages), focused review articles that may be used to update just one section of a Wikipedia page, multimedia articles that are used to enrich Wikipedia articles, and original research articles. Integrating suitable information into Wikipedia (and other Wikimedia projects) improves the accuracy of the encyclopedia, rewards authors with citable, indexed publications with much greater reach than traditional scholarly publishing, and increases participation in Wikimedia projects.

    Members of the WikiJournal User Group encompass a diverse range of roles. If you have any specialist skills and expertise you'd like to contribute, there are a number of potential roles to be involved in either on an ongoing or a once-off basis.

    Organization, members and community

    []

    General membership

    The User Group is open to anyone interested to join as a member (whether you have a Wikimedia account or not). There is no membership fee and all members can vote in journal elections.

    In addition to the , we hold several open video meetings each year, and have a number of on-wiki discussion pages. Presentations and posters are also available to check out or share with colleagues.


    Journal roles

    Journal editors

    Editorial boards and associate editors: editorially independent boards that make decisions regarding the journal and its contents, coordinate peer reviews and run most day-to-day editorial activities of each journal.

    Administrative board: a group with roles across the journals, including administrative, financial, HR, and creation and/or acceptance of additional journals in the group.


    Authors

    Writers of submitted articles: range from experienced wikimedians to one-off users contributing new content or submitting from other projects to request external peer review. You can submit original research, review articles, or even Wikipedia articles.

    You can also translate any articles (or even just article abstracts) into other languages!


    Peer reviewers

    Peer reviewers: field-specific experts invited by journal editors to give external comment on submitted articles. They are typically not experienced Wikimedians and often contribute only once in their highly specialized role. Whilst most peer reviews are are invited by journal editors reaching out to experts for feedback, spontaneous feedback on submitted articles is always welcome.


    Staff roles

    WikiJournal Staff

    Technical editors: assistant staff who help in back-of-house administration, technical, formatting and time-sensitive tasks to support and assist the editorial boards and associate editors.

    Project coordinators: responsible for overseeing the articles-in-processing pipeline to make the peer review process as smooth as possible (one per journal).

    Administrative assistant: managerial role, coordinating technical editor activities, managing vendors, and platforms, and handling administrtative paperwork.

    Executive Director: executive role responsible for supporting and forwarding the operations of the journal group, reporting to the administrative board and editorial boards.
