Title page: Welcome to Journal of South Asian Health

Introduction

This journal will focus on Medical Research on South Asian health. This journal will be affiliated with the non profit organization [|SAHRI] or South Asian Health Research Institute.

The ultimate goal is to improve the health of south asians across the globe by conducting medical research. But as any medical researcher knows that the most important step in starting a research project is to understand the existing research on the topic. This Journal will serve as a resource of existing literature. It will encourage medical research by bringing resources (information, intelligence) together on a common platform (wiki).

Like any other wiki database, it will be maintained by the users of the database. The original work will start alongside the review of the existing work.

This project was started as a Medical Knowledge Database on another wiki (http://sahri.pbwiki.com). But wikicities' academia seems like a better academic setting for this project.

It will take a few hours/days to import existing data from pbwiki.

How to submit data- Since the first step is to review the literature, PUBMED would be a great start. You can pick a topic (i.e., prostate cancer) and a subtopic (epidemiology). Search the PUBMED for relevant articles and summarize them. If you are going to work as a team with others, may we suggest a work flow?

1. obtain all the relevant references and save them on separate wiki page (call it: Prostate Cancer Epidemiology To Review page).

2. Review each reference at your leisure and edit the specific subcategory's existing information. Remove the reference from the TO Review page (i.e., suppose you reviewed an article that reported that the incidence of prostate cancer in 40,0000 asymptomatic men age 60 and over in Rural Gujarat was 5%; you would put that in Prostate Cancer Epidemiology page with appropriate citations and remove it from the "to Review" list).

3. As more data has been incorporated, the knowledge base will increase.
