What it does
Scholarpedia publishes encyclopedia articles authored by academics, with peer review and expert curation of revisions.
Look for an overview of a scientific topic when you want an article with a defined review process. Scholarpedia describes academic authorship, peer review before publication and curator oversight of later changes. Those stages give you useful context for evaluating an entry. Read the article's scope before assuming it covers the whole discipline.
