BGI on Wikipedia, on Wikimedia Commons, on Wikidata Science 2.0 - Leibniz-Forschungsverbund - Trailer MS Wissenschaft QRpedia code for Aurelia aurita at Phyletisches Museum Some food for thought Coursework with wiki component (see also Wikipedia:School and university projects) Instructor Basics How to Use Wikipedia as a Teaching Tool Wikipedia Education Program Case Studies Sample Syllabus for Wikipedia assignment Review of genomics-related articles and materials by BGI scientists Routine upload of non-publishable items of encyclopedic value to Wikimedia Commons Provide data (and images/ videos) on villages around field sites, so that the wiki entries related to them can include that information Provide photos and short biographies of genome researchers Publish in reusably licensed journals If that is not possible, upload at least some of the non-published items (example) Wiki workshops Edit-a-thons Hackdays Backstage pass Release in-house publications, info brochures or press materials under an open license Open Access Week QRpedia codes in public places Wikimedian in Residence program Wikimedia day, or recognition of Wikimedia work on zoology-related information as adequate use of zoology staff time Library training (e.g. work with sources) Research questions What is the value that Wikipedia and its sister projects - or open projects more generally - bring to zoological research? What would be the costs and benefits of zoological research switching to an open mode? What is it that incites millions of people to donate in Wikimedia funding drives? How can that be leveraged to fund zoology-related research? What is it that incites thousands of people to donate their free labour to Wikimedia projects, or volunteer work more generally? How can that be leveraged to fund zoology-related research? Are there any categoric objections to publicly funded research projects doing their accounting in public?
