If you don’t use Wikipedia as a resource because anyone can edit articles, try Scholarpedia.  All the articles are peer reviewed by scholars from around the world.  Publishers of articles must be associated with a research institution, be a leading expert in the content field and have a Ph.D. or M.D.

The site uses a system called Curatorship.  When an article is published by a recognized scholar, that scholar becomes the curator of the article’s content.  The author maintains the integrity of the articles by approving or rejecting suggested modifications.  The expert’s name and affiliation are clearly posted at the bottom of each article.

Because all articles are peer reviewed, the total amount of material is much less than Wikipedia, but the quality of each article at Scholarpedia is certified by experts.
