From my SlideShare space, a PPT on the phenomenon of blogging one’s research.
Would be better with narration, of course, and oddly, the links work in this embedded version, but not on SlideShare, itself :-/ ….er, they worked once–the SlideShare link issue is making me crazy. It’s a serious flaw in the service. While it’s great to be able to upload your ppts into a Flash version, what good is it if you can’t use the embedded links? I’ve tried to make a link out of one word or an image, but the transition to Flash still breaks the link.
Maybe I should just open Flash and finally learn how to use that difficult piece of software, myself!
[I'll still make the SlideCast with narration to test that feature.]

Research Blogging is a blog aggregator. It looks like a blog itself, but actually posts recent posts from researchers who blog about their research. No kidding. Academics who do real, peer-reviewed research write about it in blogs. If you’re thinking that a blog is only a personal journal, you are missing one of the many ways that technology is used today for serious purposes. [Update: Actually, this aggregator lists posts of bloggers who blog about peer-reviewed research that has already been published. It is not a collection of research bloggers posting their own research, as I initially thought.].
There have been a few articles in the news lately about blogging researchers, and we have one here in Intelligence Studies, Kris Wheaton, who recently created a series on the topic “The Changing Nature of the NIE and its Implications for Intelligence.”
What are we going to do with such work? Will this challenge to traditional peer review have an effect on acceptable scholarship, acceptable to tenure committees, that is?
