Notes (First Meeting)

edit
  • WikiJMed update
    • We are in the process of publishing one further pre-print from the backlog but no movement yet on the remainder. At Andrew Leung’s suggestion I have started simply allocating pre-prints to board members in the hope that they will respond and take them forward. Also, there is a backlog, which I have only discovered, of submissions. I receive no alerts related to these and have no idea to whom the responsibility belongs, but I have been given editing rights on the spreadsheet of submissions by Andrew and will start trying to process these gradually. However, I am not entirely sure that this is my role and if anyone else wishes to assume this I will not stand in their way. I would continue to keep an eye on pre-prints once they are up. I am now aware of:
      • Author declaration sheet
      • Uploaded pre-print files
      • Lost password for author
      • Create new account and link in user page
  • WikiJSci update: accepting backlogged articles
    • 2 published paper since 2024
    • 3 more papers for consideration in the next month
    • Concern by an editor - several bird species articles are similar (structure and content)
      • Least publishable unit
  • Grant application
    • Partnership on PLoS (is the partnership still active)?
    • Ellen to note things that need to improve on grant application
    • Insurance cost - issue
      • Will contact other chapters to find cheaper insurance with similar coverage
  • Board Updates
    • Keeping track of activeness in the board
    • Send email notes
  • Wikimania Poland (7-10 August)
    • Andrew has a partial scholarship
    • Starting to call for session presentations at Wikimania so we need to submit (beginning of april)
