Hypothesis
How can original published sources and versioned wiki pages be reconciled and combined into a single citation reference?
Conclusion
The study presents a method to combine citations of original taxon treatments published in journals with their corresponding versioned wiki pages.
Supporting Evidence
- The study illustrates how to create a single bibliographic reference for both journal and wiki publications.
- It discusses the importance of permanent cross-linking between original publications and their wiki counterparts.
- The proposed method aims to increase citation rates of taxonomic publications.
- Automated export of journal content to wikis can reduce authors' workload.
- The paper highlights the need for clear attribution of contributions in wiki environments.
Takeaway
This study shows how we can link journal articles and wiki pages together so that both can be cited properly, making it easier for people to find and use scientific information.
Methodology
The paper describes a workflow for combining journal and wiki citations, including automated export of taxon treatments to a wiki.
Limitations
The study does not address the potential challenges of ensuring accurate attribution for wiki contributions.
