Agenda

• Following-on from last meeting
• Points of contact needed between OJS and WikiJournals
• Next steps needed to prepare for development

Notes

• Three likely points of contact with Mediawiki: Wikidata, Wikijournals, Wikicommons

1. Wikidata
   • Article metadata passed OJS ↔ Wikidata (example)
   • Mainly moving from OJS → Wikidata
     • E.g. handling editor identity, peer review dates ongoing
     • E.g. doi, volume, page etc upon publication
   • Some information may move Wikidata → OJS
     • E.g. possibly ‘main topic’ might be updated in Wikidata?
     • E.g. populating list of eligible handling editors from Wikidata query?
     • These are probably less important
2. Wikijournals (currently on Wikiversity)
   • Preprint/draft passed OJS ↔ Wikijournal  (example)
   • Reviewer comments passed OJS → Wikijournal  (example)
   • Version of record passed OJS ↔ Wikijournal (example)
3. Wikicommons
   • Images passed OJS → commons (example)

• Exact system may differ depending on where article first submitted
  • I.e Preprint first on WikiJournal or submitted straight to OJS
  • Most journals using OJS also have OJS handle the front end
  • Counter-example is those using Fiduswriter
• Article and review content OJS ↔ Wikijournal
  • SWORD protocol
• Editable articles via VisualEditor within OJS?
  • Parsoid & VisualEditor may be useful for editing interface even within OJS
    • Note, Parsoid is moving into MW Core fairly soon.
  • Require some version of shim to integrate with OJS
  • Documentation seems minimal currently
  • Would make articles and review comments directly editable within OJS
  • Useful, but probably note core requirement
• Single login/authentication would be ideal
  • Wikimedia uses OAuth
  • Example existing case is WikiEdu dashboard
  • Not necessary to track provenance of all edits to Wikimedia item
    • E.g. if Wikidata user updates ‘main subject’ items
  • Cindy Cicalese would be good contact (PluggableAuth, OpenID Connect, SimpleSAMLphp)
  • Ryan McGrady & LiAnna Davis would be good contact (WikiEdu dashboard development)
• All info should have copy on Mediawiki servers if possible
  • Robust to future developments or decommissioning
• Grants to submit to Wikimedia Foundation:
  • 1) Development of new features (one-off expense)
  • 2) Ongoing hosting of OJS instance (ongoing expense)

Action Items

• Share these minutes to metawiki with any confidential info redacted (Thomas)
• User stories for different start points with screenshots if possible (Thomas)
  • Submitting from WikiJournal site as preprint
  • Submitting from Wikipedia as preprint (possibly via wikijournal intermediate)
  • Submitting straight into OJS without touching WikiJounals first
  • Published version also integrated into Wikipedia
