ERS is pleased to announce that the winners of the best article submitted to our respiratory focussed wiki ‘Respipedia’ have been decided.
The winning article is on the topic of bronchiestasis and was authored by James D. Chalmers from Perth, United Kingdom. The reviewer of the successful article was Stefano Aliberti from Milan, Italy. Both have received free registration to the ERS International Congress 2016.
The winning article was selected by an ERS Officer vote, taking into consideration: the degree of relevance and up-to-date information provided; the structuring of the article – coherence and cohesion between the sections; and the educational value of the article – demonstrating sound arguments, and the use of appropriate language and illustrations/images to communicate ideas.
The Respipedia online encyclopaedia has grown in size since it was developed in July 2015 and a number of high quality articles are now available for reference on a number of topics and specialty areas.
Additionally, we welcome your ongoing contributions to this site in order to maintain a useful and up-to-date tool for use by the respiratory community. Articles submissions can be made easily via the site.
All Respipedia articles are peer-reviewed and created on the principle of collaborative article editing, reviewing and validating by a page reviewer, and updating through a continuous editing process. Authors also benefit from the credit of having their names associated with articles published on the wiki.
Currently Respipedia is restricted to ERS members only, but as the catalogue grows we hope to open this tool up to the wider community.
