WikiStudies Mission [Written by garbados, circa January 2011]

• Allow researchers to publish their own studies and edit them as findings evolve and/or in response to peer review.
• Allow researchers to review, rate, discuss, and comment on other submitted studies, whether in whole or in part.
• Allow the general public to peruse the body of submitted studies and their discussions and participate by means of votes and other ratings.
• Track findings across studies to reach a better synthesized comprehension of that phenomena.

WikiStudies Purpose [Written by garbados, circa January 2011]

• Eliminate Publisher Bias: When researchers can publish their own works, their findings can flow more freely through the scientific community and, by extension, the world.
• Advance Scientific Rigor and Transparency: When peer review becomes an ongoing process involving hundreds, possibly thousands of researchers, research becomes more reliable, and the scientific community improves.
