Project plan for science wiki

We seem to have enough information and contacts now. We've seen a good bit of frontier work in the realm of wiki/commentary and PubMed.

  • drop nonmedical fields from the proposal -- they expand our focus too far
  • Set up at referata. Find out from Yaron & company if this can be done, freely, cheaply, using the same extensions are as available at AADB and WikiPapers, and how.
  • Use/copy source information from acawiki.
  • Use/copy source information from the Mietchen/Klein/Senate project on Wikisource [1]
  • Note that policies prevent commentary on Wikisource, and allow even neutral annotations only with some effort: [2], [3]. However it would be quite plausible to copy PubMed papers which make it to wikisource to an annotated version of them at subpage /Annotated, then use that for something.
  • Their project has a budget and funding; possibly worth imitating: [4]
  • Contact James Heilman
  • Ask User:Sadads about setting up on referata and helping copy all necessary code to new medical-wiki site. Consider contacting the author of WikiPapers.
  • Ask Yaron Koren about setting up on referata
  • User:Groupuscule examined sources on the safety of eating genetically-modified organisms and some of these may qualify as medical: [5]
  • Objective: to create a Wikimedia site with this sort of material. It's not clear we can get to there, but it seems possible.

Some features to try out in the next prototype:

  • Links, and footnotes to and/or from retractionwatch, VIVO, ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Mendeley, acawiki, PubMed, . . . .
  • Data on clinical trials, or common data sets, used by multiple papers
  • Demonstrate "B disputes A" links and reports
  • Demonstrate "B uses the same data as A" links and reports

Value added

  • Our site is not trying to be a social network like many of those sites are ; it's directed toward the search for neutrally-demonstrable truths. It should link to and from those sites.

Background

  • PubMed links are easy.
  • ResearchGate employs 120 people (??!) and has $35 million from investors.[1]
