      • You can then revise your Wiki project based on the peer review and editor comments.

General instructions

The planned workload for the Wiki project is approximately 40 hours.

There are two possible ways to complete the Wiki project:

1. Create a completely new Wiki page.

  • List of possible Wiki project topics contains some suggestions.
  • You can also suggest your own topic. For example: Synthesis method, characterization method, some interesting solid-state material, etc.

2. Revise one or more existing Wiki pages.

  • Have a look at some of the existing pages. If there is a topic that interests you and you think you will be able to significantly improve the existing page, this is a very good target for your project.
  • You may revise several existing pages if you want.
  • Creating new high-quality figures is very valuable work.
  • All figures added/changed during the revision must be compatible with the open access licensing of this Wiki (please see below).
