  Articles relating to medicine are viewed more than 180 million times per month on Wikipedia, yet, less than 1 per cent of these have passed a formal peer review process. This opens up a unique opportunity for Cochrane, the independent, global healthcare research network, to share expertise and work with Wikipedia editors to transform the quality and content of health evidence available online.
  
  The resource and assistance given to editors will help to encourage the inclusion of evidence within all articles and make sure that medical information included in Wikipedia is of the highest quality and as accurate as possible. Trusted, evidence based research can help people to make informed decisions about their own healthcare
