Open Access Button updates

Richard Baraniuk at the SPARC 2014 Open Access Meeting

Since February, the Open Access Button team have been covering recent developments around Open Access in their "The Week in Links" series. Although published a little less frequently than the name suggests, they provide informative and accessible summaries on the matter. For example, the March 14 issue covers the SPARC 2014 Conference that took place on March 3-4 in Kansas City as well as various blog posts, anniversaries, policy developments, and related news.

Publishing scholarly papers with, and on, Wikipedia

Timeline of a conventional academic publication process

Timeline of wiki to journal publication

A case study of PLOS Computational Biology's Topic Pages - for which scholarly review articles are written to be published first in the journal, then on the English Wikipedia - has been compiled by User:MartinPoulter and was published on the blog of Jisc, where he served as Wikimedia Ambassador until the end of March.

Wikimania

A multitude of Open-Access-related session proposals have been submitted for this year's Wikimania by the March 31 deadline. Besides a panel discussion on Open Access & Wikipedia with Jimmy Wales, these include

• wm2014:Submissions/Collaborative Methodologies for Scholarly Outputs
• wm2014:Submissions/Marking open-access references cited on Wikipedia
• wm2014:Submissions/Open access research without peer review as reliable references in Wikipedia
• wm2014:Submissions/Open Access Media Importer
• wm2014:Submissions/Open Evaluation: collecting opinions from the scientific community on published papers
• wm2014:Submissions/Open Knowledge and the National Institutes of Health of the United States
• wm2014:Submissions/Rich citations from open-access scientific papers
• wm2014:Submissions/The Full OA Stack - Open Access and Open Source
• wm2014:Submissions/The Future of the Open Access Button
• wm2014:Submissions/Wikimedia workflows as prototypes for open research

Furthermore, three prominent figures in Open Access - Elizabeth Marincola, Peter Murray-Rust and Jack Andraka - have been confirmed as keynote speakers.

Signalling OA-ness

The Signalling OA-ness project has fine-tuned its timeline and started to test workflows for importing full-text articles from PubMed Central into the English Wikisource (details on GitHub). Session proposals related to the project have been submitted to WikiCon USA, OKFest and Wikimania.

Open Access Media Importer

The following represents a selection of the ca. 300 files that have been uploaded by the Open Access Media Importer this month, bringing the total to over 15,800. If you can think of wiki pages where these files could be useful, please put them in there or let us know.
