Scholarpedia:Follow up Invitation
Dear %NAME%,
As an Editor of Scholarpedia, I would like to follow up my invitation to contribute a short mini-review article "%TITLE%" to %ENCYCLOPEDIA% (http://www.scholarpedia.org). After your article is peer-reviewed and accepted, you will become the curator of the topic "%TITLE%" in Scholarpedia.
A "Nature Physics" editorial discussed the implications of Scholarpedia's becoming "... an intrinsic part of the academic landscape". http://www.nature.com/nphys/journal/v4/n7/full/nphys1012.html
The 13th edition of Encyclopedia Britannica has "Space-Time" entry written by A. Einstein and "Psychoanalysis" entry written by S. Freud. If Britannica had the feature of curatorship, physicists and psychologists of today would be fighting each other for the honor to be curators of these articles. The goal of Scholarpedia is to invite today's Einsteins and Freuds to write entries on their major discoveries so that future generation of experts would be willing to maintain these articles via the process of curatorship.
Your article will be cited as any other article in a peer-reviewed journal. I highly recommend that you take a junior co-author, e.g., a former student of a postdoc, who would take care of the article on the long run as its co-curator.
The original invitation (copied below for your convenience) was sent on %DATE%, and Scholarpedia's database indicates that you neither accepted nor declined this invitation.

Sincerely yours, %SIGNATURE%
