External academic review and publication of Wikipedia pages

Hi Nicoonoclaste. In case you'd not come across it before, I thought I'd message to ask whether there are any Wikipedia articles that you'd be interested in creating/updating/overhauling and submitting for external, academic peer review.

The WikiJournal of Science (www.wikijsci.org) couples the rigour of academic peer review with the extreme reach of the encyclopedia. For existing Wikipedia articles, it's a great way to get additional feedback from external experts. Peer-reviewed articles are dual-published both as standard academic PDFs, as well as having changes integrated back into Wikipedia. This improves the scientific accuracy of the encyclopedia, and rewards authors with citable, indexed publications. It also provides much greater reach than is normally achieved through traditional scholarly publishing.

Note that we do have to publish under real names, so if you don't want your real name associated to your username, you may have to choose atopic that your username has not previously edited.

Anyway, let me know whether you'd be interested in putting an article through academic peer review (either solo, or with a team of coauthors).

Hi Thomas!

Thanks for the information, though I would be curious to know why you reached out to me specifically.

I left academia and its publication game, and while I find the goal of improving Wikipedia's scientific accuracy and depth laudable, I do not currently have time & energy to invest in journal publications (still recovering from the traumas of my PhDon't) nicoo (talk) 09:09, 15 February 2023 (UTC)

P.S. FYI, the fields I have the most expertise in are distributed systems (esp. Byzantine fault tolerance), formal methods (e.g. automated synthesis or verification of software) plus the underlying logics and decision procedures (SAT / SMT and their quantified generalisations, automated theorem proving, etc.) nicoo (talk) 09:17, 15 February 2023 (UTC)
