UK academics to add big bang
to Digital Universe expansion
Laura Smith
Academics at Oxford, Cambridge, Strathclyde and Dundee universities will be among the first UK-based contributors to a new online encyclopedia written and edited entirely by experts.
The Encyclopedia of Earth (EoE), an online reference resource for all things environmental, will be written by academics approved by a panel of scientists, who will also 'peer-review' their contributions.
Cutler J Cleveland, the EoE's editor-in-chief, said this approach meant its accuracy could be trusted by students, lecturers, librarians and teachers -- unlike the collaborative online encyclopedia Wikipedia, which anybody can edit.
