Leveraging Wikipedia for health research dessemination

Wikipedia is the most frequently consulted resource for medical information on the internet. Engaging with this platform is crucial for disseminating health and social care information to a lay audience.

Event Description

Wikipedia is the most frequently consulted resource for medical information on the internet. Engaging with this platform is crucial for disseminating health and social care information to a lay audience. The National Institute for Health and Care Research's project exploring Wikipedia for dissemination has entered its third year. In this webinar, the NIHR's Wikipedian in residence will talk about the project and discuss the following topics:

• How Wikipedia works and how accurate and reliable it is
• How librarians can use it to disseminate knowledge for a wider audience
• How librarians and educators can use it for teaching critical skills and evidence-based research for medical students
• How librarians can collaborate with the NIHR and the Wikipedian in residence
 
Come and hear from international speaker Adam Harangozó who will be joining us from the UK.
 
Adam Harangozó works in projects focusing on open access and open knowledge. He is the Wikipedian in Residence at the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) where he works on sharing health and care information through Wikipedia. In his role he collaborates with researchers, practitioners, patient and public contributors, university students and others to explore how Wikipedia can be an impactful dissemination tool that gets to audiences beyond academia's traditional reach. Adam has previously worked in a similar role for a human rights archive in Hungary and organised Wikipedia events for vulnerable and underrepresented communities.
