For authors

The visual help page visually describes how to log-in, how to submit a paper (for authors), how to approve a paper (for referees), how to approve a version of an article (for curators) and other common actions in authors', reviewers', curators' life.

Authors are strongly advised to read Instructions for authors (Physics), which include:

• An introduction to some elementary actions any author should master to become editor--independent.
• An introduction to Scholarwiki, the dialect of wikitext markup language on which articles are written in Scholarpedia.
• A few ready--to--cut--and--paste examples of useful advanced editing topics.
• A review of the editorial conventions in use in Scholarpedia.
• An overview of the administrative procedures.
• A commented list of links for the reader wanting to improve his knowledge.

Authors are welcome to put relevant scientific information (mini-CV, awards,research interests, picture) in their own user-page (http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/User:your_user_name). See a ready to copy and customize template, examples:example 1, example 2, example 3.

Remarks

• Waiting for a sufficient number of physicists in Scholarpedia to systematically start authors' elections, articles in "Encyclopedia of condensed matter" are written on Editors' invitation only.
• Suggestions of living original inventors and world--acknowledged experts are welcome.
  To suggest an author X for a title Y, send an email to editors with subject: 'suggestion for Scholarpedia: X' and body:

 Article title: Y
 Author: X
 Email: recent email
 URL: X's homepage (optional)
 Affiliation: University of ...
 Comment: Why is X qualified to write Y?
 Awards: Nobel prize, Dirac Medal,... (optional)
 Suggested by: your Scholarpedia username

If editors accept your suggestion and the author agrees the invitation your Scholarpedia index will be increased of one point.
