About
''This page belongs to a talk given on April 1, 2015 (in Plenary Session 5, from 12.15 to 12.45pm BST), as part of UKSG's 38th Annual Conference in the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow. Notes about the talk have been blogged by an attendee.''

Title
Wikimedia and scholarly publications

Abstract
Wikipedia and its sister projects – particularly Wikimedia Commons, Wikisource and Wikidata – are one of the most popular sources of information, including on topics related to scholarly research. They interact with scholarly resources in multiple ways - they may simply link to, cite or quote them, or suitably licensed scholarly materials may experience a second life when being reused in a new context as part of a Wikimedia project, e.g. on a Wikipedia page or in a Wiktionary entry.

It is thus in the interest of the research community to get acquainted with the inner workings of these platforms, as well as with the broader culture of openness that they are embedded in and that has started to spread into academia. This talk shall provide a general introduction to Wikipedia and its sister projects, focusing on the role they play in engaging the public with research.

In the spirit of openness, the talk is editable and being developed in public at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/Talks/UKSG_2015, from where it will also be held. Feedback of any kind - e.g. suggestions, questions, or reports of past interactions with Wikimedia - is most welcome. A video recording of a similar talk given at CERN some years back is available via https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Daniel_Mietchen/Talks/CERN_2012.

Wikimedia and Open Access

 * Overview
 * Wikipedia article: Open access
 * Exists in multiple languages
 * Associated Wikidata item
 * Multiple Wikimedia entities have signed the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities
 * WikiProject Open Access
 * Open Access Signalling project
 * Open-access policy
 * Blog post announcing the policy
 * Signpost article about the policy
 * highlights differences to typical Open-access policies:
 * It covers not just publications, but associated data, software and multimedia;
 * It stresses the importance of open licensing, which facilitates and broadens the scope of reuse;
 * It is itself available under an open license, so it can easily be adapted (e.g. translated);
 * It avoids embargo periods (which most other policies allow for), and instead allows for limited exceptions;
 * The exceptions are to be documented in public, which helps to collect data on the necessity for exceptions and can inform later refinements of the policy.
 * The actual policy
 * FAQ on the policy
 * Licensing is key throughout

Role of repositories

 * Interoperability
 * is key to reuse
 * requires standardization

JATS

 * JATS is the de-facto standard for exchanging journal article content in a machine-readable fashion
 * used for articles ingested into PubMed Central
 * SciELO content is available in JATS, soon in PMC
 * Optical Society of America, Copernicus, BioMed Central, Nature Publishing Group and others moved to JATS, even though not all of their content is going to PMC
 * NASA and other US Federal Agencies are planning to build their public access policies around PMC
 * Problem: Inconsistent XML as a Barrier to Reuse of Open Access Content
 * JATS4R is trying to address this
 * Improving the reusability of JATS
 * Now also with data citation
