Energypedia - Quality matters
Within energypedia we know that quality matters! Only if the information contained in energypedia's articles and databases is as accurate as possible, users will benefit from this wiki platform and energypedia will contribute to true knowledge exchange and a more sustainable future. Like the creators of Wikipedia, we strongly believe in the advantage of an open approach to knowledge creation and distribution in which users work and write collaboratively together. Nonetheless, we are aware that this approach of publishing content without a formal editorial process comes along with the risk of quality deficiencies. In order to guarantee high quality, energypedia is developing several instruments and mechanisms ranging from behavioral guidelines to continuing quality controls by users and energypedia staff. |
Quality initiativeIn the future, energypedia will call out quality initiatives to improve the quality of certain parts of energypedia. For example, a project week might be launched to revise a technology portal and all its articles. In regular intervals, new initiatives will be displayed here. | |||
