Each week a Science Collaboration of the Week will be picked using this page. This is a specific topic which either has no article or a basic stub page, the aim being to have a featured-standard article by the end of the week, from widespread cooperative editing. For a discussion on the correct format of science articles, please see WikiProject Science.

Stuck for nominees? Take a look at Science stubs or Requested articles in Applied sciences or Natural Sciences.

The project aims to fill gaps in Wikipedia, to give users a focus and to give us all something to be proud of. Any registered user can nominate an article and can vote for the nominated articles. Every Sunday, the votes are tallied, and the winner will be promoted for a week to potential contributors.

Nominations

New nominations can be made at any time and should be added at the end of this page. Please use the provided template.

If the page you are nominating already exists, please add {{SCOTW}} to the top of its talk page. This expands to:

Science collaboration of the week This article is a candidate for Science Collaboration of the Week. Please visit that page to support or comment on the nomination.

If the article is selected as the Science Collaboration of the week, please add {{Current-SCOTW}} to the top of the article page. This expands to:

This is the current Science Collaboration of the Week!
Please help to improve it to match the quality of an ideal Wikipedia science article.

If there are more than 5 candidates, nominations must get two votes every seven days to stay alive. Previous successful collaborations and unsuccessful nominations will be pruned and sent to /History. Users can add support for more than one nomination at a time.

Collaborations will be selected every week by whichever one has the most votes. In the event of a tie, selection will be delayed 24 hours. If the nominees are still tied afterward, the earliest-nominated nominee will be selected. The first collaboration was selected on July 20, 2005.

The next SCOTW will be chosen on September 24, 2005.

Comments:

  • Protein purification can has so many procedures, and mentalities, for instance: columns (eg. Ion-Exchange, Size-Exclusion, Affinity, etc.), Ammonium Sulphate percipitation, degradation & proteases, pI, SDS-PAGE, concentration, UV spectroscopy. It's such an important subject today with transgenic theraputic proteins (ie insulin) being so common in everyday life. This would be a great page to link together so many other biochemistry and molecular biology pages, unfortunatly this page stinks, and the student life doesn't let me commit enough time to it.-- Adenosine | Talk 05:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
