Changed now to Friday 31st August, 2012 (I was unable to book everything I needed on the Tuesday). I'm in the process of completing the room and equipment booking forms. Sharkli (talk - contribs) 17:22, 28 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Literature review

edit

I'm prepared to organise something on finding and critically appraising the evidence, falling into the following categories:

  • If you don't know what you're looking for, how do you know when you've found it?
how to ask the right clinical question and formulate your search strategy (PICO etc)
  • Where's the Evidence?
literature searching tips & tricks
  • Does it do what it says on the tin?
critical appraisal of RCTs and systematic reviews

Great can you make it specific to WP:MEDRS? And research techniques that fit these guidelines? --Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 18:35, 14 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
That shouldn't be a problem - and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Resources of course. Sharkli (talk - contribs) 11:14, 19 October 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes definitely will discuss.--Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 04:41, 31 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Open Access and Wikipedia

edit

It would be good to have a session on open access publishing and Wikipedia as per http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Journal_(A_peer-review_journal_to_allow/encourage_academics_to_write_Wikipedia_articles) Sharkli (talk - contribs) 23:30, 30 March 2012 (UTC)Reply
