Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

--Albert Einstein

 

A noob's question:  If this is in the docs let me know.  How does this site differ from Wikipedia?  What is (should be?) the difference between an "encyclopedia" and our "publon library"?  - Luke

Answer: Wikipedia does not publish any original research --only material that has already been published elsewhere. Everybody Science is a compendium of original research, ever evolving, ever alive.

 

This Science Wiki is an experiment in a new form of scientific discourse. One in which publication is dissociated from peer review, in which papers are live documents that can be continually updated, in which a publon (minimal unit of publishable material) is as small as its author deems it, in which ideas can see the light of day sooner, even during the very process of their initial formulation and refinement, in which readers can contribute to an article, correcting it, enhancing it or providing references to relevant work, and in which the publication record can record the morphing of an idea into an accepted fact. And one in which everybody can contribute to the scientific record. Read more here
