To Do List

An important aspect of this project is to provide educators, collaborators, and anyone interested in Wikipedia and education with a comprehensive database of relevant citations. These citations can be used to provide resources for building a new Wikipedia medical education project and in research projects. This list was generated using a formalized search strategy (see "Search Strategy" below) and also includes references compiled by WikiProject Medicine, The Wiki Education Foundation, and The Cochrane Wikipedia Project.

• Date of last update: December 9, 2019
• If you have any new reference suggestion or see any materials that are missing from this list please reach out to our group. We appreciate your feedback! JenOttawa (talk) 18:46, 29 July 2019 (UTC)

Search Strategies

The following search strategies were used to find research articles about using Wikipedia for teaching health professional students.  

• Databases: PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, ERIC, Web of Science

• PubMed Search Terms: Wikipedia AND (curriculum OR Education, Professional[mh] OR Students, Health Occupations[mh] OR Schools, Health Occupations[mh] OR "medical education"[tiab] OR medical student*[tiab] OR nursing student*[tiab] OR dental student*[tiab] OR pharmacy student*[tiab] OR veterinary student*[tiab] OR medical school*[tiab] OR nursing school*[tiab] OR veterinary school*[tiab] OR pharmacy education[tiab] OR nursing education[tiab] OR health professional student*[tiab]) AND english[lang]

• Embase Search Terms: ('wikipedia'/exp OR wikipedia) AND ('health student'/exp OR 'curriculum'/exp OR 'medical education'/exp OR 'paramedical education'/exp OR curriculum OR ((medical OR nursing OR pharmacy OR dental OR veterinary OR "health professional") NEXT/2 (student* OR education OR school*)):ab,ti) AND [english]/lim

• CINAHL Search Terms: (wikipedia) AND (MH "Curriculum+" OR MH "Education, Health Sciences+" OR MH "Education, Clinical+" OR MH "Schools, Health Occupations+" OR MH "Students, Health Occupations+" OR ((medical OR nursing OR pharmacy OR dental OR veterinary OR "health professional" OR "health care" OR healthcare) W2 (student* OR education OR school*)))

• ERIC Search Terms: wikipedia AND (healthcare OR "health care" OR "health professional" OR medical OR medicine OR nursing OR dental OR veterinary OR pharmacy)

• Web of Science Search Terms: wikipedia AND (healthcare OR "health care" OR "health professional*" OR medical OR medicine OR nurs* OR dent* OR veterinar* OR pharm*)
