Wikiversity allows original research:
https://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Original_research


English Wikiversity, that is. (And French, perhaps others.) Italian 
Wikiversity does not.

(How many times in a thread do I need to repeat that guidelines must be 
verified locally?)

Depends how you write the original research, it can easily be considered a
textbook.

Whereas there might be some materials which are best hosted at this (not 
yet in existence) Wikiproject, I am afraid it has a lot of potential to 
attract conspiracy theorists and all king of adepts of marginal views, 
so that I am not sure such project should be created (or at least not 
under the umbrella of WMF).

Hello Sucheta,

for me this looks like a good restart for Wikiversity. For me beside of 
providing university courses one of the target of Wikiversity is also 
always to be actually do crowd sourced research works.

Hi all,

A few of my friends and I have been planning to document the history of
counterculture in Bengali art and literature. These friends are also
working in that domain professionally, and have access to a huge repository
of texts, images, and other relevant details that they are willing to make
available digitally in the form of free contents. We wish to have the
contents as wikis, and, pictures and video snippets that might be involved
- as properly licensed free materials. Now, the concern is if there is some
Wikimedia Project that would host contents that are based on such an
enormous amount of original research. Wikipedia is certainly not the
appropriate place. And, as there exist no earlier works on this particular
domain on the internet, references would be negligible. I was thinking
about Wikibooks, instead. I am not entirely sure if that fits either, but I
assume it fits better than Wikipedia, at least. The last option is to host
it ourselves with the MediaWiki setup, and I am considering it very much.
But, the idea essentially is to make people edit and enrich it with as much

be placed in one of the Wikimedia projects. Suggestions, of every kind,
would be deeply appreciated.

Freely licensed reproductions of relevant primary sources are definitely 
welcome on Wikimedia Commons.

The original research part *might* be allowed on some Wikibooks 
subdomains, you have to ask the community in the relevant language.


For your own wiki, it's probably best to enter an open farm. There are 
several. https://wikiapiary.com/wiki/Farm:Farms

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Is there some Wikimedia project to host contents based on original research?

[Andrea Zanni]

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. It could be a
sort of new environment between academic publishing and Wikipedia (which
now are quite distant for several reasons).

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Is there some Wikimedia project to host contents based on original research?

[Craig Franklin]

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.

Cheers,
Craig Franklin

[Richard Symonds]

This sounds like a Wikisource idea - do we have any wikisourcerers who can
give their thoughts?
