While scientists have gloried in the disruptive effect that the Web is having on publishers and libraries, with many fields strongly pushing open publication models, we are much more resistant to letting it be a disruptive force in the practice of our disciplines. — James Hendler
Obstacles to using wikis in scholarly publishing
Technical
- Few, e.g. integration with reference managers (particularly for items not available online), or automated XML2wiki
Social
Habits
- Scholars are used to type their manuscripts in Word processors for an end product designed for print
- Publishers have an opportunity to initiate change here
Attitudes
- recognition problem by funders, tenure committees and scientists in general
- similar problems affected online publications, open data and open access long before, and their initial adoption heavily depended on model projects
- scholars not ready to have their writings peer-edited
