Open Access at Wikimania; Citathon

By Daniel Mietchen

Open Access at Wikimania

Wikimania 2014 keynote by Peter Murray-Rust on mining the scholarly literature.

There was a flurry of sessions around Open Access at this year's Wikimania as part of the Open Scholarship track. These included a panel with Jimmy Wales, several keynotes - e.g. one by Elizabeth Marincola - as well as sessions with Phil Bourne or Cameron Neylon and several sessions by members of WikiProject Open Access. There clearly was an interest from both the Wikimedia and the scholarly communities to enhance interactions.

Citathon

A key theme this year at Wikimania were citations. This started with the citathon - a table at the hackathon, where people would discuss and hack on handling references and citations - and continued well into the following days, e.g. with a panel on reforming citations across Wikimedia projects as well as sessions on Citoid or the Open Access signalling project. During Wikimania, CrossRef announced a new initiative to help curate citation metadata on Wikimedia projects.
