Anyone can participate in the WikiProject. The collection of articles in this project aspires to be authoritative and comprehensive, but gaps exist with respect to clarity, scope, and supporting references.

Technical experts are always needed, but nonexperts can contribute by improving readability.

Guidelines for editing are listed in

• WP:TERTIARY. The most desirable references are to reviews and books (including ebooks). Many such sources are behind paywalls
  , unfortunately.
• predatory journals
  .
• WP:MEDRS
  . Claims related to human health require especially strong supporting references, read: secondary and tertiary.
• WP:NOTTEXTBOOK
  . As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia presents facts. It is not a textbook replete with explanations. The difference between an encyclopedia and a textbook can be subtle however.
• WP:COI
  . Editors avoid topics where they have a conflict of interest, or at least they disclose their conflict. "Ref spamming" by authors of journal articles is a persistent problem.
• WP:UNDUE
  . The space allocated to subtopics within an article should reflect their relative significance. Of course, defining "relative significance" can be non-obvious.
