Une encylopédie libre écrite sur un wiki avec responsables qui garantissent le contenu des articles : Scholarpedia http://scholarpedia.org/ annonce une édition aux principes en tout opposés à ceux de wikipedia :
D'abord il y a un responsable de publication, un éditeur : Eugene M. Izhikevich, Editor-in-Chief of Scholarpedia, the free peer reviewed encyclopedia
Et puis les principes de rédaction : Scholarpedia differs from Wikipedia in some very important ways:
-
Each article is written by an expert (invited or elected by the public).
-
Each article is anonymously peer reviewed to ensure accurate and reliable information.
-
Each article has a curator - typically its author -- who is responsible for its content.
-
Any modification of the article needs to be approved by the curator before it appears in the final, approved version.
Y compris : In Scholarpedia, every article has a person who takes care of its content and whose reputation becomes associated with this content, the Curator. The job of a curator is to moderate revisions of an article, accepting those that are relevant and rejecting those that are not.
Voici pour les principes qui semblent incontournables pur une publication qui s'appelle encyclopédie. Il faut noter cependant que Scholarpedia est une encyclopédie qui se borne aux sciences, et certaines sciences seulement : principalement astro-physique et maths, neuro-sciences et intelligence artificielle. Elle est loin de couvrir tous les domaines de la connaissance.
