title: Use of an enterprise wiki as a research collaboration tool.
abstract: Biomedical research projects are highly collaborative endeavors with unique information management and communication needs. We describe the pilot use of an enterprise wiki solution to facilitate group communication, secure file sharing, and collaborative writing within a pediatric hospital and research center. We discuss the choice of software, examples of use, and initial user feedback. We conclude that a wiki is a low-cost and high-yield approach to enhance research collaboration.
