WikiJournal User Group
Open access • Publication charge free • Public peer review • Wikipedia-integrated
The WikiJournal User Group publishes a set of open-access, peer-reviewed academic journals with no publishing costs to authors. Its goal is to provide free, quality-assured knowledge. Secondly, it aims to bridge the Academia-Wikipedia gap by enabling expert contributions in the traditional academic publishing format to improve Wikipedia content.

Discussion of the projects is encouraged. The forum for the publishing group is here, and each journal has its own additional discussion page.
The journal group is also currently applying to be a Wikimedia Foundation Sister Project. This would give greater control over the workings and formatting of the site, as well as a dedicated domain name.
