when searching the Web for biomedical information. So
there is an increasing need for the scientific community
to engage with Wikipedia to ensure that the information
it contains is accurate and current.

32. Take home messages
 Profiling of you publication lists is important.
 Link these to 'ordinary' social networking sites such
as LinkedIn
 Connect profiles where possible, e.g. ORCiD
 Build a consistent on-line profile
 Engage with the lay public by sharing powerpoint
presentations
