Project idea

What is the problem you're trying to solve?

Easier access to knowledge for everyone.

What is your solution?

By creating a forum for scientific publications Wikipedia can significantly broaden its scope and mission in making knowledge available for everyone. A key that needs solving is how peer review should work. However, Wikipedia already has one of the worlds finest peer review systems in the world for Wikipedia itself, and with some small modifications it should be possible to adjust that function to operate also as scientific peer review.

Who will you be doing outreach with?

Scientiest
