context_page_description: Scholarpedia is an English-language online wiki-based encyclopedia with features commonly associated with open-access online academic journals, which aims to have quality content.
  Scholarpedia articles are written by invited expert authors and are subject to peer review. Scholarpedia lists the real names and affiliations of all authors, curators and editors involved in an article: however, the peer review process is anonymous. Scholarpedia articles are stored in an online repository, and can be cited as conventional journal articles. Scholarpedia's citation system includes support for revision numbers.
  The project was created in February 2006 by Eugene M. Izhikevich, while he was a researcher at the Neurosciences Institute, San Diego, California. Izhikevich is also the encyclopedia's editor-in-chief.
context_section_description: Scholarpedia content is grouped into separate "encyclopedias". Currently seven of these are described as "focal areas": Astrophysics, Celestial mechanics, Computational neuroscience, Computational intelligence, Dynamical systems, Physics and Touch – but a further 12 include such diverse areas such as Play Science and Models of brain disorders. As of November 2018, Scholarpedia has 1,804 content pages and 18,149 registered users.
