Scholarpedia:ConfirmationToAuthors
Dear %NAME%,
Thank you for agreeing to write "%TITLE%" for Scholarpedia.
Since Scholarpedia is a peer reviewed encyclopedia that anyone can edit, you need to do the following to get your authorship permanently associated with this article:
- Finish writing the article.
- Submit it to the anonymous review forum (press 'author' button above the article).
- Revise the article to comply with concerns of the anonymous reviewers.
- Get it accepted by the reviewers. At this moment, you will automatically become its curator.
- Modify the accepted version if necessary, and approve it.
Only after the last step will your name and the link to the approved version be stored in Scholarpedia archive. You may resign from the curatorship of this article in the future, but your authorship will be permanent. Your article could be cited as any other article in a peer-reviewed journal.
To get started, please read the short instructions for authors. An easy and helpful first step is to sign in to Scholarpedia, visit your article, press 'edit this article' button and put an approximate time line and short description of what you plan to cover.
If you do not see 'author' link above the title of your article or if Scholarpedia does not allow you to edit the article, then chances are you are not logged in. Your username is '%USERNAME%'.
To add co-authors, ask your colleagues to register in Scholarpedia and send you their usernames. Then go to your article, press 'author' button, then press 'add co-author' button.
We ask authors to make the article as short as possible (ideally, less than 3,000 words). You can have as many color figures (and even animations) as you wish.
Though your article will be peer-reviewed and cited as a journal article, we ask readers and authors to keep in mind that Scholarpedia aims to be an encyclopedia and not a peer-reviewed journal. Thus, we ask that you write your article from as neutral a stance as possible, and in a way that explains your topic to non-experts (our target audience is graduate students and advanced undergraduates) in a more accessible "Scientific American" or slightly more advanced style.
If you have any questions or problems using Scholarpedia, please contact the editors who invited you, or in case they are not able to help, the Editor-in-Chief. Thank you again for your support of this project.
Sincerely Yours, Eugene M. Izhikevich – editor-in-chief of Scholarpedia, the free peer-reviewed encyclopedia.
