Abstract

Open Educational Resources, such as Web 2.0 tools including Wikipedia, are significant in scientific dissemination due to their broad reach, reusability, and adaptability. The engagement of the CEPID NeuroMat in scientific dissemination, particularly through Wikipedia, is evidenced by its successful projects. This initiative, an open educational resource aligned with CEPID NeuroMat's mission in scientific dissemination, aims to continue intensifying scientific outreach via Wikipedia and other wiki platforms. It also seeks to contribute to the reflection on the use of 2.0 technologies in disseminating cutting-edge research findings, with a focus on health education related to Parkinson's Disease.
