'''SklogWiki''' is a wiki site for anyone interested in classical [[Cambridge-Dictionary:thermodynamics|thermodynamics]], statistical {{tag|mechanics}}, and the [[:Category:Computers|computer]] simulation of simple [[Cambridge-Dictionary:liquid|liquids]], complex fluids, and soft condensed matter. The site can be viewed as a collaborative inter- and hyper-linked electronic {{tag|Encyclopedia|encyclopaedia}} that is instantly up-dateable with the latest {{tag|research}} results. It also serves as an important access point to the traditional {{tag|Peer review|peer-reviewed}} scientific literature. SklogWiki is part of the '{{tag|Science|Science 2.0}}' movement. | |||

One of the overriding philosophies of SklogWiki is the free dissemination of {{tag|technical}} {{tag|information}}: | |||
{{Cquote|''"Developed [[:Category:Country|countries]] should foster exchanges of technical information on the principle that all countries have equal rights to full access to available information. It is increasingly necessary, in order to reduce inequalities in this field, to promote co-operative arrangements for collection, retrieval, processing and diffusion of technological information through various networks, regardless of geographical or institutional frontiers."''|author=UNESCO|source=[http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0004/000400/040066eb.pdf "Many Voices, One World: Report by the International Commission for the Study of Communication Problems", UNESCO (1980)] (Part V. § 35 p. 261)}} | |||
