What is Scitizen?

Scitizen brings together a community of scientists and science writers who provide the public with an accurate, balanced and non-technical description of developing stories in science. The scope of the stories ranges from subjects such as extra-solar planets to stem cells. Scitizen’s goal is to cover all disciplines of science. Researchers and writers give an objective picture of both what is currently understood to be the general consensus and what is still a subject of controversy within the scientific community.

Scitizen is an open news source: any scientist, any science writer, or anyone else can submit an article or post a comment in response to an article. The submissions are moderated by the scientific community before publication.
