=== Scholarly skywriting <!--[[Scholarly skywriting]] and [[Student skywriting]] redirect here ([[MOS:HEAD]])-->=== '''Scholarly skywriting'''<!--boldface per [[WP:R#PLA]]-->, coined by Harnad around 1987,<ref>{{cite web |last=Harnad |first=Stevan |date=25 May 2011 |orig-year=1987 |title=Sky-writing, or, when man first met troll |url=https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2011/05/sky-writing-or-when-man-first-met-troll/239420/ |website=[[The Atlantic]] |access-date=30 September 2020}}</ref> is the combination of multiple [[email]] and a [[Threaded discussion|topic thread]]ed [[WWW|web]] archive such as a [[newsgroup]], [[electronic mailing list]], [[hypermail]], [[netnews]] or [[Internet forum]], linked and sortable by date, author, or subject-heading threads.<ref name=skywriting1990>{{cite journal |last=Harnad |first=Stevan |date=November 1990 |title=Scholarly skywriting and the prepublication continuum of scientific inquiry |journal=[[Psychological Science]] |volume=1 |issue=6 |pages=342β344 |doi=10.1111/j.1467-9280.1990.tb00234.x |s2cid=58105259 |url=http://www.cogprints.org/1581/1/harnad90.skywriting.html}}</ref> The name derives from the idea that texts can be written in the "sky" (via multiple email and a web archive) for all to see ("skyreading") and all to add their own comments to ("skywriting").<ref name=skywriting1990/> Harnad suggested that it could be a kind of [[open peer review]],<ref name=skywriting1990/> a supplement to classical peer review, but not a substitute for it.<ref>Adler, J. R., Chan, T. M., Blain, J. B., Thoma, B., & Atkinson, P. (2019). # OpenAccess: free online, open-access crowdsource-reviewed publishing is the future; traditional peer-reviewed journals are on the way out. Canadian Journal of Emergency Medicine, 21(1), 11-14.</ref> What Harnad called '''student skywriting'''<!--boldface per [[WP:R#PLA]]--> is scholarly skywriting done in a teaching/learning context.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.southampton.ac.uk/~harnad/Hypermail/ |title=Student Skywriting (Hypermail Discussion) Archives |website=www.southampton.ac.uk |date=1994β2001 |access-date=30 September 2020}}</ref>
