  • Description:
    Wikipedia is an important mechanism to share science information with the public. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) adopted a multi-component strategy to improve the health content on Wikipedia. For the International Year of Sound (IYS 2020), the Acoustical Society of America and NIOSH organized the online event Wiki4YearOfSound2020, to facilitate the improvement of Wikipedia content related to acoustics. IYS 2020 is a global initiative to highlight the importance of sound in all aspects of life and improve our understanding of sound-related issues at an international level. The Wiki4YearOfSound2020 platform (available in several languages) provides guidance to all who join. Ways to participate include promoting the project, suggesting a topic that should have a Wikipedia article, improving or translating existing articles, or writing new ones. Educational programs can take advantage of the easy-to-use platform and tools to train students to contribute high-quality content to Wikipedia as part of their class assignments. Throughout 2020 the Wikimedia outreach dashboard will allow anyone to monitor contributions and reach. This campaign is an opportunity to make acoustics one of the better-developed areas within Wikipedia, while providing quality information to everyone in the world - where they are actually looking for it.
