Wikipedia covers an immense number of topics dealing with natural, social, and formal sciences. In all disciplines of science, research and theories are published under a peer-review system, and all credible journals of science are indexed by one or more of the major indexes of scientific journals.
This proposal addresses Wikipedia's reporting and description of such topics. When writing articles or sections involving science, we rely on the reliable sources to describe the scientific evidence accurately while weighting material in a fashion that reflects the weight of published peer reviewed literature in the field.
