Wikis as platforms for science communication in general
- Wikis can be used, in principle, for any aspect of scholarly communication, as detailed in this comparison of wiki- and paper-based communication systems and the related blog post.
- Examples exist for all steps of the research cycle, except successful applications to major funders (see this overview for some attempts)
- Benchmark: English Wikipedia
Wikis as platforms for OA publishing
- Most variants of wiki software can handle user rights in great detail, so as to allow implementation of basically any kind of peer-review system (and any business model).
- In comparison to paper-based scholarly communication:
- Web-native: Basically anything on the web can be embedded or otherwise directly linked to
- Contextual links are the central pillar
- Version control built in (along with time stamps, naturally), thus allowing stable releases and updatability, while establishing priority
- Several popular wikis are open source and have been tested under high load
- The more open research becomes, the more diverse will the acts of science publishing become. Wikis exist for all aspects of the research cycle (except for funding decisions, for cultural reasons)
