Welcome to Biology Week!

Welcome to CitizendiumArticles related to flightInvertebrate biologyPopulation biologyHumanArticles related to DNAArticles related to pollenCZ:Biology Workgroup/Biology WeekArticles related to chloroplastsArticles related to treesArticles related to bacteriaArticles related to fungiEvolution of CetaceansBig catArticles related to metabolismInsectCore articles
The first Biology Week took place here from Sep 22-28, 2008.



We are planning a big "online convention" of Biologists here on the Citizendium. Would you like to see more work done on articles about Approved Article 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

  1. by improving existing articles listed as biological, or
  2. 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

  1. the content or phrasing of an article
  2. 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) are still encouraged; for the editable version of the article, click on the "draft" tab, which you can see for example at the top of Life.

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.


In case of any queries or problems contact
