WikiJSci WikiSci WikiScience Wikiscience Wikijournal of Science Wikiversity Journal of Science WikiJournal Science Wikipedia Science Wikipedia science journal STEM Science Mathematics Engineering Technology Free to publish Open access Open-access Non-profit online journal Public peer review WikiJournal of Science An open access journal with no publication costs – About www.WikiJSci.org ISSN: 2470-6345 Frequency: Continuous Since: December 2017 Funding: Wikimedia Foundation Publisher: WikiJournal User Group On social media RSS feed Facebook Twitter Mailing list Contact & Contribute The WikiJournal of Science is set up such that anyone can contribute. Minor edits, such as formatting, copyediting and minor wording edits may be done by anyone. Edits that change the meaning of the article require peer review, and should instead be added at the article's Discussion page before triggering a new round of academic peer review. In a practical sense, the editors of each journal are organised into two groups: The editorial board is responsible for journal strategy, has final responsibility for ensuring that robust academic peer review is performed in a timely manner, and handles any confidential article submissions. Information about editorial board responsibilities can be found in the Editorial board page. If you are interested in joining the editorial board, you can apply here. The associate editors help in contacting prospective peer reviewers, formatting accepted manuscripts, and integrating suitable material into Wikipedia. They can also vote in board elections. Information about associate editor responsibilities can be found in the Associate editors page. If you are interested in joining as an associate editor, you can apply here. All previous editor applications can be viewed.
