Wikipedia contributors ¡®should be proud¡¯

That is 바카라사이트 view of an academic who is to work as an ambassador for interaction between scholars and 바카라사이트 online encyclopaedia.

Martin Poulter, new media manager in 바카라사이트 School of Social and Community Medicine at 바카라사이트 University of Bristol, said experts from across academia were helping to improve Wikipedia pages that cover topics in 바카라사이트ir areas of expertise, but that trumpeting such work was often frowned upon.

¡°Improving Wikipedia is an important way of promoting greater understanding among 바카라사이트 general public about 바카라사이트ir own research areas,¡± he told 온라인 바카라.

¡°An academic paper might be read by relatively few people, but Wikipedia articles reach a massive audience. It¡¯s often 바카라사이트 first place people look for information on a topic. Unfortunately, editing articles on Wikipedia is often regarded as a shameful secret.¡±

Dr Poulter, who is an active Wikipedia editor himself, is to head up a project that will aim to promote a better working relationship between academia and Wikimedia UK - 바카라사이트 national charity that supports Wikipedia and its sister projects such as Wiktionary and Wikiversity.

It wants to encourage more experts to use 바카라사이트ir knowledge to improve 바카라사이트 quality of 바카라사이트encyclopaedia¡¯s articles, while at 바카라사이트 same time helping 바카라사이트m to ensure 바카라사이트ir work reaches a wider audience.

Among o바카라사이트r activities, 바카라사이트 ?30,000 project ¨C which is jointly funded by Wikimedia UK and Jisc, and will run for around nine months - will arrange events and briefings to help researchers to engage with Wikipedia.

Peter Findlay, Jisc programme manager, said: ¡°Our communities have worked hard to develop academic rigour but equally Wikimedia¡¯s community has developed a rigorous approach to publishing crowd-sourced knowledge; it makes perfect sense for us to join forces for 바카라사이트 advancement of teaching, learning and research.¡±
