MathSciJournalWiki was such a good idea that its developers have expanded it to cover all scientific disciplines and renamed it Eureka Science Journal Watch.
EUREKA is a freely-editable source of information on scientific journals, starting with mathematics. It aims to be a central resource for understanding the journal system, and a catalyst for change, away from the current system of corporate-run journal monopolies and towards an open-access system run by the scholars themselves.
You can get involved in the site in the following ways:
- Adding content, ranging from filling in editors’ names, to adding news about journals, to creating entries about publishers and exposing their sneaky tricks.
- Discussing the basic principles and philosophy of the site. For instance, to what extent should the content in the site behave like data in a database? To discuss this issue, go to Talk:Data Storage.
- Helping out with the technical side. There are many simple things to be done, especially extracting journal data from the relevant websites. See Extracting Data on Journals and the To Do List.
To get started, go to the the discussion page. If you’re new to editing wikis, try this. To ask a technical question, go to the Dumb Questions page.
This information was taken from the front page of the wiki. To learn more, visit the site: Eureka Science Journal Watch.
