Welcome to Biology Week!
We are planning a big "online convention" of Biologists here on the Citizendium. Would you like to see more work done on articles about 
Biology on Citizendium? Then here is your chance to make a difference.
Background information for newcomers
How do I register to participate in Biology Week
- Request a Citizendium account
- Register as a Biology Author.
- If you qualify for expertise in an area of biology, please also register as a Biology Editor.
- It takes only a few minutes at most to fill out the form
- Within hours, 24 at most, you will receive login information
What exactly can you contribute to Biology Week?
In principle, you have two ways to contribute
- by improving existing articles listed as biological, or
- by starting new articles fitting in there.
Lecturers and other instructors have a third option - assigning Citizendium articles as coursework via our Eduzendium initiative.
How to improve existing biology articles?
You can improve
- the content or phrasing of an article
- the content or phrasing of an article's subpages (e.g. Related Articles, Bibliography, External Links, Gallery, Video, or Definitions).
If an article has already been approved, improvements (subject to re-approval) may still be made on its draft page or subpages.
How to start new biology articles at Citizendium?
- If you are new to Citizendium, please take a look here and start writing. During Biology Week, many people familiar with formatting will be around to help you.
- If you are new to Biology, you can invite biologists to help you. To this end, please announce your article in the appropriate section below.
