The document discusses the appropriate use of Wikipedia for biomedical research. It provides background on Wikipedia's collaborative editing model and ongoing issues with vandalism and biased content. Two studies are summarized that found Wikipedia articles related to medical topics often lacked clinical detail and unsupported statements. While Wikipedia can be used for initial background information, it is not considered an authoritative or credible sole source for biomedical research due to variability in author expertise, objectivity, accuracy, and currency of information. The document recommends verifying information with credible sources and consulting specialized library resources for clinical questions.
