SciWiki  /  Sandbox for India Knowledge Initiative
Rooted science for Indic wikis: from local flora and archives to open knowledge
Decentering synthetic global bias through authentic regional scholarship. SciWiki documents India’s ecosystems, regional biodiversity, indigenous innovations and scientific milestones, drawing on primary regional texts, institutional archives, academic monographs and field research, shaped by human inquiry rather than AI-generated prose.

Contribute research Source guidelines Recent contributions

Organic sources first
Drawing on CSIR, BSI, ZSI, state university libraries, regional gazettes and verified field publications.
India-centric context
Prioritising native agro-climatic zones, endemic species, regional health challenges and local innovators.
Human curation
Researcher-led extraction and regional translation, avoiding unverified synthetic prose.

The Mission

Democratizing scientific knowledge

The knowledge gap
Scientific knowledge is often inaccessible to readers who prefer Indian languages. SciWiki works to bridge this gap by developing reliable, well-referenced and accessible scientific content.
Language empowerment
We aim to build a lasting scientific knowledge base in Hindi, Telugu and other Indian languages, enabling communities to learn, contribute and share knowledge in their preferred languages.
Scientific coverage
From fundamental sciences and biodiversity to agriculture, health, inventions and emerging technologies, SciWiki encourages contributions across all scientific disciplines.

Our vision: A multilingual scientific knowledge commons where reliable scientific information can be discovered, understood, improved and shared by people across India.

Biology · Species · Ecology · Genetics
Physics · Chemistry · Astronomy
Geology · Climate · Water · Conservation
AI · Engineering · Inventions · Energy
Statistics · Computing · Modelling
Agriculture · Health · Scientists · Heritage

Respectful and evidence-based documentation: Traditional and indigenous knowledge should be documented with appropriate attribution and reliable sources. Clearly distinguish cultural descriptions and traditional claims from scientifically tested findings.

Priority Areas for Interns

SciWiki interns can help build a strong foundation by focusing on these five areas:

01Biodiversity and species taxonomy
Document plants, birds, insects, fungi, ecosystems, species classifications and regional conservation efforts.
02Science and technology in India
Create articles about Indian scientists, research institutions, inventions, discoveries and technological landmarks.
03Health, agriculture and environment
Develop accessible scientific articles about public health, agronomy, water tables, climate resilience and food systems.
04Core scientific concepts
Explain fundamental physics, chemistry, biology and mathematical concepts clearly and accurately in Indic languages.
05Emerging technologies
Expand coverage of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, space systems, renewable energy, robotics and nanotechnology.

How It Works

01
Pick an article
Choose a science topic from your task list or identify an article that needs to be created or expanded.
02
Draft and translate
Write naturally in the target language. Adapt headings, infobox fields and terminology contextually.
03
Cite and review
Add credible inline citations from peer-reviewed journals or academic sources. Check cross-links and categories.
04
Submit and connect
Submit for project evaluation and link the page to Wikidata so it appears across global language versions.

Article Quality Guidelines

Every SciWiki article should aim to be accurate, accessible, verifiable and well organised.

Quick checklist

  • At least 6 KB of meaningful, readable text, excluding images, templates and infoboxes.
  • At least 2 reliable, independent sources with proper inline citations.
  • At least 2 specific and relevant categories.
  • Aim for 3 interlanguage links configured through Wikidata where equivalent articles exist.
  • Fully translated infobox labels, headings and standard parameter names.
  • Freely licensed media sourced from Wikimedia Commons with attribution.
  • Thoroughly proofread grammar, scientific terminology and factual accuracy.

Content and style

  • Article length: Aim for at least 6 KB of meaningful, readable article text, excluding images, templates and infoboxes. Confirm how the target wiki measures article byte size before submission.
  • Tone and language: Use a clear, neutral and encyclopedic tone. Avoid literal, awkward or unreviewed machine translations.
  • Translation completeness: Translate relevant content, section headings, infobox labels and template parameters into the target language.
  • Scientific accuracy: Use established regional scientific terminology and explain specialised concepts clearly. Distinguish established findings from hypotheses and active research.
  • Proofreading: Check grammar, facts, formatting consistency and link functionality before submitting.
  • Reliable sources: Prefer peer-reviewed publications, university textbooks, recognised scientific institutions and reputable news outlets.
  • Inline citations: Support critical claims with citations that readers can independently verify. Use at least two reliable, independent sources.
  • Neutrality and verifiability: Follow the target wiki's core policies on neutral point of view, verifiability and appropriate use of automated tools.
  • Copyright and media: Prefer appropriately licensed images hosted on Wikimedia Commons. Never copy proprietary text without explicit Creative Commons licensing.

Formatting and metadata

  • Infoboxes: Include an appropriate infobox when useful and supported by the target wiki. Adapt fields and parameters to the target language and available templates.
  • Categorisation: Add at least two specific, relevant categories at the bottom of each article.
  • Interlanguage links: Connect equivalent articles through Wikidata where possible. Aim for at least three language connections.
  • Authority control: Add {{Authority control}} to biographies and other applicable pages only where supported.
  • Dates: Follow the target wiki's standard date format conventions in published content.

Important note: These standards are SciWiki project baselines. Acceptance of any article ultimately rests with the editorial community and review procedures of each individual Wikipedia language edition.
