If you run research-support services such as databases or repositories, can the editors of the biggest and most popular encyclopedia access and cite your material?
The Wikipedia Library is a set of arrangements that gives Wikipedia editors access to sources they can use to improve articles.
Under Wikipedia's "Say where you got it" policy, citations have to mention and link the service they used to access the source. The Cochrane Collaboration, Highbeam Research, JSTOR and Questia are among those who have offered free access experienced Wikipedians, and have increased links to their sites as a consequence.
What else could you do?
- If you want the widest public to benefit from the knowledge you produce, consider opening up access to the public for some or all of it, or better still, making some of it available under free licences such as CC-By-SA or CC-By.
Next steps
- If you are in a Jisc-funded project, contact the Jisc Wikimedia Ambassador, Martin Poulter, (martin.poulter
wikimedia.org.uk). - If you are based in the UK, contact Wikimedia UK (infowikimedia.org.uk).
