摘要

摘要维基百科是一部始于2001年的众包在线百科全书,可能是世界上使用最多的医学信息来源,每年访问量达数十亿次。其目标是确保每个人都能用自己的语言获得所有医学知识。这个免费开放百科全书的好处是每个人都可以输入一篇文章。这个免费百科全书的缺点是每个人都可以更改文章中的单词。医学专业人员在维基百科上添加了大量的健康信息,有些甚至由健康科学图书馆员和各种健康科学学生团体编辑;但它值得信赖吗?在这个健康消费者知情的时代,这是一个可以依赖的信息工具吗?本专栏追溯了维基百科的历史、对其健康信息内容的评论以及一些编辑工作。本专栏以是否应该信任它的指导性问题结束。

Health Information on Wikipedia: Can You Trust It?
Abstract Wikipedia, a crowd-sourced online encyclopedia begun in 2001, is potentially the most used source for medical information in the world with billions of visits each year. Its goal is to ensure that every person has access to all medical knowledge in their own language. The upside of this free open encyclopedia is everyone can enter an article. The downside of this free encyclopedia is that everyone can change words in an article. Vast amounts of health information has been added to Wikipedia, by medical professionals and some has even been edited by health science librarians and various health science student groups; but is it trustworthy? In this day and age of informed health consumers, is this an information tool on which to rely? This column traces the history of Wikipedia, comments on its health information contents and some editing efforts. This column ends with guiding questions whether or not it should be trusted.

期刊介绍: The Journal of Consumer Health on the Internet is the only professional peer-reviewed journal devoted to locating consumer health information via the Internet. In this journal librarians and health information providers describe programs and services aimed at helping patients and the general public find the health information they need. From the Editor: "Studies have shown that health information is one of the major reasons that people worldwide access the Internet. As the amount of health information on the Web increases exponentially, it becomes critical that librarians-including public and medical librarians-be knowledgeable about what is available online and be able to direct users to reliable, accurate, quality information."
