    Please, read the philosophy of Scholarpedia at http://www.scholarpedia.org and the instructions for reviewers at http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Scholarpedia:Instructions_for_Reviewers.

    Remember, your review is open to the public; please, be courteous.

    Briefly, there are three modes of peer-review in Scholarpedia:

    1. Old-fashioned way: Go to the article, press 'reviews' link at the top and put your questions or suggestions there. This method is similar to the familiar review process in most journals.

    2. Wiki-style review: Open the article for editing and fix everything that needs to be fixed. You can rewrite text, add new figures, make other contributions to the article. You can sprinkle your comments into the article by putting them into <review> comments here </review> brackets. The text will appear in red to you and to the authors. Anybody, including the author, can see every change you made by going to the 'revisions' link above the article and pressing 'compare selected versions' button.

    3. Mixed-mode review: You can modify the article to make minor changes, and you put your major points into the 'reviews' part of the article. %AUTHORPREFERENCES%

    After you provide your comments and edits, press 'email alert' button to let the author know that your review is ready. Once the author complies with all your requests, you can accept the article. There is no mechanism to reject articles in Scholarpedia. As a result, the peer review process in Scholarpedia is courteous and friendly.

    Your contributions to this article are anonymous by default. However, we encourage you to reveal your identity by following 'anonymity' link. Your name and affiliation will be acknowledged at the bottom of the article, after the author's name. This would not affect your anonymity in other Scholarpedia articles.

    Finally, remember that all your edits, reviews, suggestions, and correspondence with the authors are stored in the Scholarpedia archives and become part of history available for others to see even 50 years from now.
