Open Access report

Open Access Reader; New Topic Page; Open Access File of the Day suspended

By Daniel Mietchen

Open 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

Since December 1, 2011, an Open Access File of the Day has been posted on a daily basis to highlight the variety of open access materials that are being used on Wikimedia projects. Due to limited volunteer time, this activity has been suspended this month until further notice. If you see a way to take this up again, please contact WikiProject Open Access. The following files have been featured as Open Access File of the Day this month:

Almost three years of daily OA file is still a lot, thank you. --Nemo 21:46, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
