How peer-reviewed OA research can help Wikipedia John Willinsky, What open access research can do for Wikipedia, First Monday, March 2007.
Update. Here's a good comment by Glyn Moody: One of the central ideas behind openness is re-use - the ability to build on what has gone before, rather than re-inventing the wheel. And yet, as [Willinsky] demonstrates, there is sometimes surprisingly little sharing and re-use between the various opens....I can't help feeling that there is a larger lesson here, and that all the various opens should be doing more to build on each other's strengths as well as their own. After all, it's partly what all this openness is about. Perhaps we need a meta-open movement? Update. Also see the comment by Matt Cockerill, publisher of BioMed Central. |
