Wikis for publishing scholarly articles on data science and software
February 21, 2019 Reading time: 4 minutes
By now you may already know that to add scholarly articles to the English version of Wikipedia is difficult due to the "notability" concept and tight control from anonymous editors (see this article). In recent years, entire Wikipedia topics and articles dedicated to software and data science have been wiped out by a few nameless characters without clearly-indicated scientific credentials. Their user pages are usually empty, and their login names tell nothing. That"s right - the "notability" of articles on Wikipedia is enforced by unnotable editors. This casts significant doubts on their ability to make correct decisions, and on the entire notability concept of wiki-style resources.
