SciTopics is our free wiki-like resource for the scientific community enabling scientists to make short scientific synopses available online in a quick and user-friendly way. Each Topic Page contains an authoritative synopsis of a specified scientific topic - similar to an encyclopaedia entry, as well as real time links to the most recent cited scientific articles and websites. SciTopics also has high online visibility and are easy to find through web search engines. To ensure that the content is of high quality, SciTopics authorship and creation is by invitation only. We are also in the process of putting together a team of subject editors who will be responsible for overseeing Topic Pages in a particular field.
