Bioblast editorial strategies
Why a wiki editorial board?
We intend to provide the Bioblast wiki as an open forum and 'information synthase' in the field of mitochondrial physiology. It took a few months until this wiki was discovered by the SPAM distributors, and free access to generate a personal user account had to be discontinued. Apart from attacks by the unfriendly abuse of the open wiki, we need to develop a transparent strategy for securing our aim at a scientifically based information website. Thus we invite colleagues from all-over-the world to contact us for creating a personal account, and to join us as members of the editorial board. --Gnaiger Erich 17:19, 24 December 2011 (CET)
In science, authorship is not only considered important for an individual scientific career, funding and reputation. Authorship transmits information to the reader, and carries responsibility. Since the Bioblast wiki is designed as a scientific website, therefore, we will add author information explicitly, in addition to the track record provided by 'View history'. The latter shows all details, including typo corrections and layout (but may show only the editor that added information in the name of another author), whereas explicit authorship relates to scientific responsibility and intellectual property. For example, see
Bioblast editorial tasks
General
Bioblast editors may have broad or highly focussed tasks:
- Maintain the structure of Bioblast (Bioblast advisory board).
- Take responsibility for specific sections in Bioblast (Bioblast section editors).
- Add and edit various articles and references (Bioblast scientific editors and active Bioblast users).
- Prepare Bioblast alert messages to draw attention to specific topics.
Tasks of Bioblast national editors
- Communicate regularly with MiPNet Reference Laboratories to obtain feedback on the Bioblast wiki.
- See Draft letter to MiPNet Reference Laboratories
- Ask them regularly about updates on their O2k-Publications and complete the list of publications.
- Help them to update their Bioblast page.
- Perhaps introduce a specific member of the lab to actively participate in updating their page.
- Communicate with the advisory board about problems and structural improvements of the Bioblast wiki.
How do you become a member of the Bioblast editorial board?
Scientists and students of mitochondrial physiology are invited to join the Bioblast editorial board, to help us maintaining a high and up-to-date scientific standard of the Bioblast wiki. Please, send a message to Verena Marte for receiving your personal active user account, and to Erich Gnaiger to join as a Scientific Editor of the Bioblast Editorial Board.
