Editing Wikipedia Metabolomics Page July 04, 2016, 10:26:42 AM Hello,This post is related to the outreach of metabolomics. If one Googles 'metabolomics', naturally the first hit is Metabolomics@ Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metabolomics However, this is poorly narrated, organized, content are out dated, not growing/ enriched with latest discoveries/ inventions/ tools/ workflows, no attractive pictures and so on. For instance better definitions are available than the existing : "metabolomics is the "systematic study of the unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind"". Also, at present the information are heavily tilted to few popular tools, and scientific groups only- the vast majority are still missing. Of course other platforms exist for such information, however, Wiki is Wiki, and first hit is important for out reach. Entire community efforts, MetSoc members, EMN/ ECRs should take a lead to do so. As a MetSoc community, EMN, ECRs it is vital for us to make/ edit the page to inform public and interested researchers on the actual potential of metabolomics, which is currently lacking. We should start EDITING on a regular basis with "pictures, tools, links, references, real (updated) definitions, platforms, applications and so on. This is of importance as far as I am concerned. Just a suggestion- such community efforts and outreach is an important avenue to be not overlooked for a sustainable future with and around Metabolomics.
