Merging Scientifically based research and Evidence-based education

I know that a great deal of work has gone into these two articles Scientifically based research and Evidence-based education, so please don't be offended by my suggestions. However, would it make sense to merge them into one article, make it lean, efficient and easy to maintain? And we can use REDIRECTS so people can find it.

Both articles require updating. They should not try to include too much detail or serve as an instruction manual because the field is changing rapidly.

In my view, Evidence-based education contains so much information that makes it impossible to keep up to date. The Coalition For Evidence-Based Policy appears to have wound down in 2015. And, Best Evidence Encyclopedia appears to be mentioned only in Scientifically based research.

Instead, the merged article would highlight the best available sources of information and offer unbiased information about them. This would enable educators to seek out reliable sources and make their own decision.

This is a hot topic and worth doing a good job.

Are there other articles that attempt to cover this same area? The merged article could be featured briefly in Evidence and Evidence-based practice.

I am not an expert in this area and am hoping you are.

The Evidence-based education article has been updated so, if there are no objections, I plan to move this information to that page and instal a redirect. John NH (talk) 15:38, 4 July 2020 (UTC)
