Collaborative authoring: a case study of the use of a wiki as a tool to keep systematic reviews up to date.

Open medicine : a peer-reviewed, independent, open-access journal | 2011

Systematic reviews are recognized as the most effective means of summarizing research evidence. However, they are limited by the time and effort required to keep them up to date. Wikis present a unique opportunity to facilitate collaboration among many authors. The purpose of this study was to examine the use of a wiki as an online collaborative tool for the updating of a type of systematic review known as a scoping review.
