[Wikimedia-l] Is there some Wikimedia project to host contents based on original research? [Davenport]
My suggestion to Sucheta would be to start a website dedicated to the mission, to first publish there with appropriate free licensing, and to gradually port over material from there to WP on an topic-by-topic basis, assuming there is also scholarly literature on the topics being covered. It would also help to submit this documentary and historical website to scholarly review to better establish the work done there as academically reliable. Many of the academic journals include a website reviews section in the book reviews section these days. In short: first go off-wiki to systematize and write. Then document your work as reliable. Then integrate your work with the scholarly work of others and port over piece-by-piece to WP. My two cents...

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Is there some Wikimedia project to host contents based on original research?
The Wikisource dogma is: If things are published and free, they belong to Wikisource. Unfortunately, there is no Wikimedia project for original research, Sucheta. As an example, some years ago I wanted to host my bachelor thesis (about Wikisource) in a fixed form on Wikisource (and I could do it), but also on a dynamic and collaborative form on Wikibooks. But Wikibooks is for manuals and textbooks, so it's not the right place. IMHO, this issue will get bigger and bigger over the years, and there could be room for another Wikimedia project that would allow open access, collaborative peer review and editing of original research.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Is there some Wikimedia project to host contents based on original research?
Wikisource should only be used for material that has already been published elsewhere, it sounds like what's being attempted here is original publishing. One option may be simply to set up your own MediaWiki installation and host such material there. You can therefore set your own licencing rules for the content, and make your own rules about what is and is not allowed.
