Jurors for WikiScienceCompetition 2017[edit]

Hi. I can see from the information on your profile that you work in the academia. is this you?

I am looking for expert active wikimedia users with academic background and some bibliometric record (so I can prepare their wikidata items) to work as jurors for the next Wiki Science Competition. We still miss people http://www.wikisciencecompetition.org/people/ from countries without a national jury. I am not sure if you are in fact now in China, but you would represent with nationality and workplace some countries that we miss. Plus, we have a surplus of life science researchers at the moment, and someone in a different area is a good thing per se.

Would you be interested to join?

The jurors are not supposed to be all wikimedians, but we wish to promote the use of the images on the platforms and show that there is a continuum between the wiki-world and the academia. At the same time, I want all the jurors to show they are involved in the peer-reviewed process, so the uploaders can see they are students and researchers like them.

You only get visibility in exchange (the site will receive thousands of visits).

Let me know. The event starts on 01/11/2017 or maybe two weeks later. We can define the last details of the jury during the month of November, but we'd like to be almost ready in two weeks, in order to provide the challengers with a rough idea of the composition of the juries.

In any case, we can contact you next time if you are still interested but you can't join this time.

Also if you can spread the news around in your working environment, that would be great!

Regards.--Alexmar983 (talk) 06:59, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll discuss the matter with my boss and decide next week. David N. Jansen (talk) 11:20, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good to know! In the meantime I have added more jurors so the workload is reducing. If you can't join, I still hope you can advertise the event in some Mailing list or forums or social media account.--Alexmar983 (talk) 11:29, 20 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
