چکیده
|
The internet has become an important health information resource for patients and the general public. wikipedia,a collaboratively written web-based encyclopedia,has become the dominant online reference work. it is usually among the top results of search engine queries,including when medical information is sought. since april 2004,editors have formed a group called wikiproject medicine to coordinate and discuss the english-language wikipedia's medical content. this paper,written by members of the wikiproject medicine,discusses the intricacies,strengths,and weaknesses of wikipedia as a source of health information and compares it with other medical wikis. medical professionals,their societies,patient groups,and institutions can help improve wikipedia's health-related entries. several examples of partnerships already show that there is enthusiasm to strengthen wikipedia's biomedical content. given its unique global reach,we believe its possibilities for use as a tool for worldwide health promotion are underestimated. we invite the medical community to join in editing wikipedia,with the goal of providing people with free access to reliable,understandable,and up-to-date health information.
