Here is a description of how WikiJournal fulfills each of the mentioned criteria:

Legal structure:


 * The project is governed by the WikiJournal Council
 * It has adopted its own Bylaws.
 * It is a registered non-profit organization (in Sweden, Organization#: 802511-9275). Records of activities are archived in its online discussion forums, mainly:


 * Talk:WikiJournal_User_Group
 * Talk:WikiJournal_of_Medicine
 * Talk:WikiJournal_of_Science
 * Talk:WikiJournal_of_HumanitiesThe editorial boards and associate editors have expertise in each area:


 * WikiJournal_of_Medicine/Editors
 * WikiJournal_of_Science/Editors
 * WikiJournal_of_Humanities/EditorsTheir expertise is shared with the Wikimedia movement, in the form of processing and approving article submissions, whose content can be used to improve articles across Wikimedia projects.

Wikimedia supportive mission: The mission of WikiJournal is to publish scholarly works with no cost for the authors, apply quality checks on submissions by expert peer review, and make accepted works available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity.

This is in alignment with that of Wikimedia. WikJournals is open for everyone to contribute.

Thematic focus: Scholarly journals that apply academic peer review to their content.

Critical mass of active Wikimedia contributor involvement: 50+ total members in the editorial boards, in addition to authors and peer reviewers (see links to editors above)

At least two years of activities: The project has been a User Group since May 31, 2016: Affiliations Committee/Resolutions/Recognition WikiJournal User Group

Its reports on activity and financials are up to date, see: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiJournal_User_Group/Activity_report_May_2016_to_Dec_2017

Capacity, or planned capacity, to meet the future expectations: We are a dedicated group of volunteers who will continue to welcome newcomers to the projects. There is no absolute limit to the potential capacity of our activities. We understand and will abide the requirements and expectations of thematic organizations.

Best regards,

Mikael Häggström
