The Encyclopedia of Science and Technology (EnSciTech) is a reference resource containing a compilation of scientific and technological information in the form of articles written by Members of the Scientific Community Registry. Each article is presided over by a workgroup, which is led by a Principal Author. The Principal Author carries the primary responsibility for the article and coordinates the efforts of the other members of the article workgroup, including up to three Associate Authors and an unlimited number of Contributors. Working together, the members of the workgroup keep the article up to date and accurate, publishing the latest information available on each topic.

A Member of sufficient membership level may initiate a new article, thus becoming the Principal Author of the article, or can apply for the position of Associate Author or Contributor. Members of the workgroup are listed by name on the article, giving them the recognition they have earned. There is no limit to the number of workgroups a Member may belong to.

Articles are published to the Encyclopedia via the Science Information System's Secure Channel Access Application, which includes a collaboration tool for use by EnSciTech Article Workgroups, where any member of the workgroup can propose changes to the article or contribute to discussions about proposed changes. Revisions are published to the Encyclopedia only upon the approval of the Principal Author.

The articles of the Encyclopedia of Science and Technology can be found through search engines on the Internet, or through the search page in the Secure Channel Access Application, where members of the Scientific Community Registry who are not members of an article workgroup can make comments to the workgroup.
