Project idea
What is the problem you're trying to solve?
For many subjects, the majority of the subject experts are in (or connected to) the academic world. Many of these people are time-poor and have no motivation to contribute to wikimedia efforts, so their expertise is lost to us.
What is your solution?
ORCID is a consortia-based attribution framework for the academic world: individuals using connect their contributions across publishers, institutions and fields to present their research outputs as a whole. By (optionally) bi-directionally linking wikimedia accounts to ORCID identifiers, we would enable these people (primarily academics and grad students) to get professional credit for their work, while expanding the motivation for this pool of subject experts
Project goals
- More academic subject experts contributing to Wikimedia projects
- Lower barriers to the use of Wikimedia projects in academic teaching and learning
Who will you be doing outreach with?
Academics, postgraduate students, independent researchers.
