Open Access report

Topic Pages; Open Access on Wikispecies

By Daniel Mietchen

PLOS Computational Biology Topic Pages

Topic Pages - graphic summary

This month saw the publication of two "Topic Page" articles in the journal PLOS Computational Biology that live on as articles on the English Wikipedia: Evolving digital ecological networks as well as Viral phylodynamics. The journal now features banner ads for the series, and a blog post gave an overview of the four articles published this way so far. A number of others are being drafted, and suggestions for further topics are welcome.

Open Access materials on Wikispecies

Of the over 80,000 uses of files from the Commons category Open access (publishing) across Wikimedia projects, more than 1000 now occur on Wikispecies. The German and French Wikipedias had reached that milestone some weeks earlier but have since been overtaken by Wikispecies by that measure.
