:''Content moved to [[CZ:Biology Week/PLoS]].''
One way for this would be a community page article in [http://biology.plosjournals.org/ PLoS Biology] (an [[Open Access]] journal, and perhaps the most widely read one in biology) describing the concept of [[CZ:Biology Workgroup/Workgroup Week|Biology Week]] to a [[life science]] audience. The author guidelines for this are [[Daniel Mietchen/Notes to self/WorkgroupWeeks/PLoS Guidelines|here]], and previous examples of such community pages include
*[http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.0050289 The Costs of Exclusion: Recognizing a Role for Local Communities in Biodiversity Conservation],
*[http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.0050075 CAMERA: A Community Resource for Metagenomics],
*[http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.0030326 Peer Review - The Newcomers' Perspective] and
*[http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pbio.0060086 Rethinking Outreach: Teaching the Process of Science through Modeling].
 
In order to harness the powers of a wiki for drafting the article, I suggest we do that here, in close collaboration with the [[CZ:Biology Workgroup]] and anybody else interested in Biology Week.
 
===Aims of the article===
Main points to make, considering the audience at PLoS Biology:
* What is Biology Week?
** Give first occurence and details on planned regularity
* Why should readers (scientists, teachers, students, interested public) participate in it?
** What sorts of contributions are possible and/or expected (here, the groups should be addressed separately, though that's not easy within a concise piece of narrative writing)?
* Mention other CZ Workgroup weeks, most notably those for Health sciences and Anthropology, as these fields have a large overlap with Biology
 
===Draft ===
 
====Text====
''Up to 1200 words.''
 
====Image or box? ====
''We can have either an image or a box but perhaps the box might contain an image.''
I would suggest to go for a box that lists the key properties of CZ with respect to similar projects readers might be familiar with (mainly EB and WP). A good image would probably be of help, and something in the style of [[Image:Montage2.jpg|100px]] or [[Image:Anthropology mural by Stephen Ewen CC-by-sa.jpg|100px]]
would seem appropriate - the field is depicted as a whole, yet its diversity is evident, too. Any idea how we can get the idea of a recurrent Biology week into such a figure?

Revision as of 04:07, 5 June 2008

I assume it would be a good idea to initiate some repetitive interaction between CZ and more traditional venues of scholarly communication like science journals, and the CZ:Workgroup Weeks might be the right occasion to start that.
