Through a new partnership with The Wikipedia Library, a project of the Wikimedia Foundation, select volunteer Wikipedia editors will have access to the Central and Eastern European Online Library’s (CEEOL) journals, open access indexed and included eBooks and grey literature content, available in 30+ languages.
These active contributors will now be able to access and add research from the CEEOL database records onto Wikipedia.
The Wikipedia Library provides free access to research materials to improve editors’ ability to contribute content to Wikimedia projects. In establishing this partnership, CEEOL joins over 60 publishers and aggregators to create a resource of more than 100,000 unique periodicals (journals, magazines, and newspapers), in addition to books, archives and other collections.
“For more than twenty years, CEEOL has been disseminating worldwide indexed, full-text, native language scientific publications with a clear focus on the Humanities and Social Sciences from and about Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. I believe, that the collaboration with Wikimedia / The WikiLibrary is a logical and important enhancement of our activities,” says Bea Klotz, Executive Director of CEEOL.”
“The reliability and trustworthiness of Wikipedia is built on a foundation of high-quality research,” said Sam Walton, Product Manager at the Wikimedia Foundation. “We are excited to work with CEEOL to provide Wikipedia’s community of volunteer editors around the world access to 645.000 scholarly articles in 30+ languages.
The Wikimedia Foundation and CEEOL have agreed to define approved editors and their access to the repository, in order to comply with copyright.
“Despite the unchallenged dominance of the English language in scientific research and related output, scholarly publishing in “minor European languages”, especially in the fields of Humanities and Social Sciences, has its eligibility and should be supported. We are very happy to partner with the Wikipedia Library and in the frame of this cooperation to increase the visibility and the usage of the included content.”- Bea Klotz adds.
CEEOL is the leading repository for the inclusion and dissemination of Humanities and Social Science journals, eBooks and Grey Literature documents from and about Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. The content is included in 30+ languages as they have been published, supporting native language research dissemination worldwide. The subjects include political sciences, sociology and society, fine and performing arts, history, law, economics, literature, philology and linguistics, philosophy, theology and religious studies, psychology, education science et.al.
