Scholarpedia, the free peer reviewed 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:

  a.. Each article is written by an expert (invited or elected by the 
public).
  b.. Each article is anonymously peer reviewed to ensure accurate and 
reliable information.
  c.. Each article has a curator - typically its author -- who is 
responsible for its content.
  d.. Any modification of the article needs to be approved by the curator 
before it appears in the final, approved version.
