AbstractWikis like Wikipedia and its sister projects interact with scholarly resources in multiple ways - they may simply link to, cite or quote them, or suitably licensed scholarly materials may experience a second life when being reused in a new context as part of a Wikimedia project, e.g. on a Wikipedia page or in a Wiktionary entry. Less known is reuse in the other direction: scholarly materials ever more frequently link to, cite or quote from Wikipedia and its sister projects, and in some cases, use content from Wikimedia sources in new contexts. In this contribution, a number of reuse scenarios in both directions shall be outlined. In line with this theme, both the presentation and the paper are being drafted via the WP:COSCI12 page on the English Wikipedia: wiki pages take on the role of slides that serve as an illustrated guide to the reuse of freely licensed materials in scholarly contexts, and the article will then be written up on that basis, incorporating feedback from the discussions at the conference.

Licensing
![]() The term open access (OA) is defined in the Budapest Open Access Initiative, which essentially states that the most restrictive licensing scheme that would still be considered OA is what is now known as a Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). By that definition, Wikimedia's Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike License (CC BY-SA) is not OA, and content from Wikimedia projects cannot be reused in BOAI-compliant publications. Reuse in the other direction, though, is possible and actually quite common. One way in which it can be highlighted is the Open Access File of the Day.
Reuse scenariosCitations
Altmetrics
Images and mediaThe kind of open-access materials most widely used on Wikimedia projects is figures from scholarly articles. This extends to historic publications, e.g. the
benzene

Kekulé's original article that depict the molecule's two
resonance structures.

vector graphics formats like
