维基百科上的Scholarpedia条目：http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scholarpedia

Scholarpedia目前正在成长中，它是比wikipedia更严谨的science wiki，由著名学者编撰，其内容涵盖天体物理、物理学、神经科学、计算机科学等领域，可与纸版学术期刊媲美，并拥有国际标准连续出版物号（ISSN）1941-6016。目前已完成条目为1725条，且有694条正在审阅中。近期有数学家陶哲轩、丘成桐、罗杰-彭罗斯等加入条目编辑行列。

Welcome to Scholarpedia, the peer-reviewed open-access encyclopedia written by scholars from all around the world.

Scholarpedia feels and looks like Wikipedia -- the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit. Indeed, both are powered by the same program -- MediaWiki. Both allow visitors to review and modify articles simply by clicking on the edit this article link.

However, Scholarpedia differs from Wikipedia in some very important ways:

Each article is written by an expert (elected by the public or invited by Scholarpedia editors).
Each article is anonymously peer reviewed to ensure accurate and reliable information.
Each article has a curator -- typically its author -- who is responsible for its content.
Any modification of the article needs to be approved by the curator before it appears in the final, approved version.
Herein also lies the greatest difference between Scholarpedia and traditional print media: although the initial authorship and review are similar to a print journal so that Scholarpedia articles could be cited, articles are not frozen and outdated, but dynamic, subject to an ongoing process of improvement moderated by their curators. This allows Scholarpedia to be up-to-date, yet maintain the highest quality of content.

作为一个由相关领域知名科学家编辑的wiki，Scholarpedia就像《辞海》，具有维基百科所不能比拟的价值。而且，Scholarpedia每个条目都由某位科学家作为主要编撰人，这样可以尽量保持同样的行文风格。

Scholarpedia给科学学术出版带来了新的生力，也为Science2.0概念提供了更多的支持。
