- Structure of the Topic page on PLOS Computational Biology http://www.ploscompbiol.org/attachments/topicpages.pdf (guidelines for authors). Open call for proposals to be submitted to a coordinator and focussed on articles which are not currently covered in Wikipedia, or that are rating of “Stub‐Class” on Wikipedia’s quality scale. Topic Pages are created, peer reviewed, and edited on the Pisaster Wiki authoring tool (topicpages.ploscompbiol.org) in the style of a Wikipedia page.
