[edit] Asking questions
- Searching for an article is the fastest and easiest way to find answers for factual questions.</dd>
- Until the Sci-Mate is bigger, we recommend you use the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reference_desk">Wikipedia Reference desk</a> to ask specific knowledge based questions. Please, however, bring that knowledge back to the Sci-Mate for the rest of the research community. If you are interested in establishing a Sci-Mate reference desk, please create a link here, define the sorts of answers you will attempt to provide and watch the page for questions.</dd>
- Look through Q&A for issues which have already been discussed, and leave your comments.</dd>
- If you do now want to raise the issue with the entire community, you may email the <a href="mailto:C.Dyer@sci-mate.com">research</a>, <a href="mailto:C.Dyer@sci-mate.com">management </a>or <a href="mailto:SciMates@Sci-Mate.com">technical </a>divisions of the Sci-Mate.</dd>
- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_contributors%27_help_page" title="Wikipedia:New contributors' help page">WIkipedia's New contributors' help page</a> - for new users who don't know what to do or how to do it.</dd>
- Each article has a Talk or discussions page — click on the article's discussion tab — to read or take part in discussions about the article with others interested in that topic.</dd>
- Sci-Mate Open Forum - is where community members can help guide technical and policy development through discussion.</dd>
