The journal RNA biology is requiring potential authors to create a wikipedia entry about their research as well as submitting a manuscript as normal. It does not appear to be the top of the peer reviewed journal tree, but this is an interesting development. The guidelines to authors is at http://www.landesbioscience.com/

There is a short article about this in the Times Higher: different views are given and there is also an interesting comment pointing out that Wikipedia policy is "no original research" (see here)
