Physiopedia for disseminating research and expert knowledge
[edit | edit source]
Physiopedia offers researchers the opportunity to easily publish and disseminate their knowledge of a specific clinical area to the physiotherapy and physical therapy community whilst also contributing in the creation of this global resource.
Physiopedia is a wiki, just like Wikipedia. This allows any approved registered editor to easily contribute to and edit the website.
Researchers could use this opportunity to:
- Publish research outcomes such as clinical decision making aids, outcome measures or other tools. Your research group will be directly credited for these.
- Provide up to date evidence based information in your area of research on Physiopedia. You are welcome to create new pages on your topic of expertise for readers to learn from and integrate into their practice to improve patient care. You are credited as the original editor on pages you create with a link back to your profile where you can promote your work.
- Monitor and edit pages in your area of research that have previously been created on Physiopedia to ensure that the information presented is correct. All your edits are credited back to your profile page.
Physiospot for sharing thoughts and news[edit | edit source]
Physiospot is our online magazine where there are several opportunities for researchers:
- Voices column - researchers are welcome to write regular updates on their research for open dissemination globally.
- News section - we welcome your news that we would be delighted to share.
- Interviews - we enjoy interviewing topic experts to share knowledge with the community.
Physiopedia to deliver online courses (MOOCs)[edit | edit source]
We are experienced providers of open online courses (MOOCs) for the physiotherapy and physical therapy community and are the only providers doing this. The last amputee rehabilitation MOOC had around 4000 people from 150 countries on the course. The previous SCI course was a similar size and outcome and had several publications as a result of the course. There is a cost involved with this.
