About

This page serves to draft a contribution to a special issue of Services and Use that is dedicated to the APE 2011 conference at which this talk was given. The issue will be Open Access, authors retain copyright, and our drafting the paper on this wiki has been approved by the publisher. In the spirit of wiki collaboration, we invite others to join the drafting. For some sample articles covering earlier APE conferences, see here. Submission deadline is March 1, 2011.

Authors

Others are welcome to join in!

Abstract

Wikis provide an environment that allows to collect, structure, maintain and update knowledge in a coherent fashion, yet their potential for formal publications has not been systematically explored so far. What roles can they play in scientific discourse? What have we learned about their “internal life”? Where do Wikis work – where not? How do wikis relate to “generally accepted knowledge”? And what are the signals that build trust in such results or contributions? How do researchers select and focus contributions: pick up what is new and relevant and skip the irrelevant and redundant? Where do wikis impact publishing, where do they replace it, what can be learned for publishers?
