Project Plan

Activities

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?

Neither.

This project only seeks partial funding to pay an open access fee for an academic publication.

2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

grant notification is at these places:

English Wikipedia Education Noticeboard - the paper is about university outreach
English Wikipedia WikiProject Medicine - the paper is about medicine
Wikimedia NYC's discussion forum - the project was in NYC with this wiki chapter

The event is the publication of the article. We will share it in channels including the following:

3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?

The authors of the paper have a history of Wikimedia engagement.

Shira Weiner, Touro College, New York University
Jill Horbacewicz, Touro College
Lane Rasberry user:bluerasberry

4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

Yes. Two of the authors are professors at a school of physical therapy who have organized multiple Wikipedia editing events in the Wikipedia Education Program. The other author, bluerasberry, is an experienced Wikimedia editor and a participant in English Wikipedia's WikiProject Medicine.

The data on which this publication is based is reported on a Wiki project page at en:Wikipedia:Touro.

5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

This question is barely applicable.

We expect that future academic researchers in Wikimedia projects will cite this paper in their own publications. Also anyone who publishes in Wiki educational outreach, Wiki medicine, or wiki cohort evaluation can use this research as a precedent to cite in development of their own research. If the paper is open access then the paper itself will engage future participants more easily.

6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

It follows these Wikimedia guides -

Impact

This is not a traditional rapid grant request, but it would be very worthwhile nevertheless. I am more than happy to endorse the application. --RexxS (talk) 16:53, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
It's a pity that scholarly publication costs authors so much money, but this will be a publication that will be significant in advancing understanding of what does and does not work in collaborations between Wikimedia projects and educational institutions. I strongly support this request. --Tryptofish (talk) 17:42, 8 August 2018 (UTC)

charliemeyers(talk ) I would love to see this expanded in such a way that uses Wikimedia's considerable resources to open-source more medical science.
Yes. Good luck! Axl (talk) 10:27, 10 August 2018 (UTC)
