Guidelines

An introductory video about how to edit Knowledge and medicine.
  • Knowledge is an encyclopedia and has a distinct style that may take some time getting used to.
  • It is important that articles use the best sources and content is given due weight. Different from scientific papers, Knowledge medical and health content is preferably sourced to secondary sources over primary sources. Citing a review article is preferred over an original trial.
  • To get you started and to explain why this is important here are a number of guides and guidelines:
WP:MEDRS      WP:MEDMOS
Reliable Sources (medicine)      Manual of Style (medicine-related articles)
WP:MEDCOI      WP:MEDHOW
Conflicts of Interest      How to edit
Our guides complement Knowledge:Policies and guidelines and take great care to explain why they are relevant.

MCOTM

Each month we select a Medical Collaboration of the Month to focus our efforts on. Topics may either relate to medical basic sciences (such as anatomy or biochemistry), or clinical medicine (such as illnesses and surgical procedures). The project aims to improve medicine articles, and to give editors an opportunity to collaborate. Anyone can nominate an article, or vote on nominees at our project page. The collaboration of the month for September 2024 is Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease! Visit its talk page to help coordinate our efforts.

About

WikiProject Medicine was started in 2004 by Dr. Jacob de Wolff as WikiProject Clinical Medicine with the later branch WikiProject Preclinical Medicine. These merged and WikiProject Medicine has since been one of Knowledge's most active WikiProjects. WP:MED as it is known aims to manage and help in curation of Knowledge's medical articles. We write articles and discuss all manner of issues on our talk page: WT:MED.

Through the years we've built up a catalogue of sub-projects and task-forces which vary in their activity, you can find some of them at the task force page.

Research

Knowledge can be a great resource for getting to know a field — and it can give you an encyclopaedic overview of a subject, acting as a spring-board letting you dive deeper. It should however not be used as your only source when performing research, and you should never blindly trust Knowledge. Over the years a lot of research has been amassed surrounding the reliability and biases of Knowledge. To see some of the studies that have been produced on the quality and scope of medical information on Knowledge take a look at some of the research:

  Academic studies of health information on Knowledge
Knowledge in the media
Knowledge as a topic
Knowledge as a source

This is a list of academic articles related to the coverage of health and medical topics on Knowledge. For general academic articles see Academic studies of Knowledge. For academic studies about the use of Knowledge in education, see Academic studies of Knowledge in education. For popular media coverage of Knowledge's medical content see the popular media list.
