Are Students Able and Willing to Edit Wikipedia to Learn Components of Evidence-Based Practice? - scientific work related to Wikipedia quality published in 2011, written by Robert G Badgett and Mary Moore.

Overview

Objective. This study sought to measure the ability and receptiveness of medical students for creating evidence-based edits in Wikipedia for learning components of evidence-based practice. Methods. Senior medical school students in an elective in clinical informatics and evidencebased medicine during 2007 (n=21) or 2008 (n=18) were taught how to place succinct summaries of studies in Wikipedia. Online help was provided. In 2008, an online template facilitated editing. Results. Combining the two years, all students but one (97%) cited articles in PubMed and 85% created links to abstracts in PubMed. Most students (79%) reported a study design and 72% provided numeric results. In 2007, 14% of students created complete citations, compared to 78% in the second year (p < 0.05). At two months follow-up, 44% of students had at least one edit improved and one edit from 2007 was deleted. In 2007, 83% (15/18) of the students agreed or strongly agreed that the exercise should be offered to the next year’s class. In 2008, this rate was 100% (16 respondents). Conclusions. Among these self-selected students, most students were positive about the assignment and almost all created edits that succinctly summarized research results and attributed evidence.
