Open Access Reader; New Topic Page; Open Access File of the Day suspended
ByOpen Access Reader project starts
This month, the Open Access Reader started, which aims to bring significant information contained in Open Access publications over to relevant Wikimedia platforms.
Cite-o-Meter got facelift
The Cite-o-Meter is a tool to visualize how many Wikipedia pages are citing CrossRef DOIs that have been issued by different publishers (examples: PLOS, Elsevier). It also allows to rank publishers by citations from a given Wikipedia (examples: en, vi) or from Wikimedia Commons. It got a facelift this month using D3 for better visualization.
New PLOS Computational Biology Topic Page
On September 25, the article Multi-state modeling of biomolecules was published in PLOS Computational Biology as the seventh of its Topic Pages. The article provided the basis for the Multi-state modeling of biomolecules entry on the English Wikipedia, and its publication marked the start of a dedicated PLOS Collection for these Topic Pages.
Open Access File of the Day suspended
