Re: [Wikimedia-l] Our need of OA research – materials?

[Johan Jönsson]

Hi Jackie! Thank you for asking – I should have started with that.

My current vision for the end product is for a short report, aimed for
decision-makers in the Swedish university world. Too many of them simply
don't understand what the public would *do* with access to research, and
consider it an intra-academic ideological question with few practical
implications. Since Wikipedia depends on access to good sources and we're
an important interface between research and the general public, we could be
a good specific example of why open access matters. Part of this would
preferably be specific to Sweden and Swedish Wikipedia, for local impact,
but it'd be very helpful if we could have more existing material to build
on – basically do a rewrite instead of reinventing the wheel, and see if
there's research on Wikipedia and OA we should incorporate.

If they have Wikipedia-specific material about OA, it would be very
helpful, but the angle I'm looking for here is less to present arguments by
researchers who approve of OA – the target audience will have met those
before – unless those arguments come in the form of information about how
Wikipedia uses open access research. (:

Hi Johan!

What does your end result look like? 

I know several researchers who study Wikipedia and are passionate about OA. 
Would items they have written be what you are seeking? Or an interview with 
them for something you are writing? If you let me know what you hope for your 
end result to look like, I can better provide you with context and contacts. :)

I hope you are well. 

Best,

Jackie K.

[Wikimedia-l] Our need of OA research – materials?

[Johan Jönsson]

Hi folks,

What are our best resources to point to our need for open access research?
I'm looking for explanations, testimonials, collections of research on how
OA is used on Wikipedia (e.g. Teplitskiy, Lu, Duede: “Amplifying the impact
of open access: Wikipedia and the diffusion of science”) and so on –
anything to not have to reinvent the wheel. Have you put together anything
explaining this from a Wikimedia perspective?

(The Wikipedia Library has "why we need access to research", which is
useful, but not exactly the same thing.)
