Scholarpedia:Peer-review

Every article for Scholarpedia is subject to peer-review, in which Scholarpedia's expert curators publicly vouch for the article's accuracy and scholarliness.

Scholarpedia employs semi-blind peer-review. Individuals are invited to review Scholarpedia articles by being sent a secret URL.

Using this URL:

• Any Scholarpedia user has the ability to reject the article anonymously
• Only Scholarpedia curators given the URL are able to publicly approve the article

Thus, anyone asked to approve an article is given the opportunity to reject it, and every individual invited to review the article who then rejects it can plausibly deny having done so.
