Scholarpedia talk:Assistant Editor

From Scholarpedia

Text of first call for assistant editors

subject: Scholarpedia.org is looking for graduate students to work as assistant editors

Scholarpedia – open access encyclopedia -- attempts to partner the authority and responsibility of a printed encyclopedia with the dynamism and timeliness of a wiki. Among their responsibilities, assistant editors would have direct input on the future development of Scholarpedia and would have the opportunity to engage with article authors and curators (most often legends in their field of expertise). Assistant editors would work on a volunteer basis, but their contributions would not be expected to take more than 2-4 hours per week.

Interested students should contact Dr. Eugene M. Izhikevich (editor-in-chief@scholarpedia.org) with a brief description of their academic context and areas of expertise. Assistant editors should be familiar with wiki environments, skilled in HTML and/or LaTeX, and possess excellent written English.
