researchblogging.org
Research Blogging is a community-run non-profit organization. The organization was created by bloggers for bloggers, with the input of bloggers and blog readers who like to read about new developments in science and other fields. If you’re a blogger who writes about serious research, Research Blogging offers you a way to distinguish your serious posts from anything else, by directing your regular readers — and new readers — to the posts linking to published articles. You can read more on the idea behind researchblogging.org in this post on nextgenerationscience.com.
How to use Research Blogging?
What does it mean to me?
A couple of things. One, writing the posts becomes slightly more complicated, since I have to search for the DOI, before I can make a post. That is a not so good thing. Two, reviewing the posts will really be a review and discussion, not simply a summary, since it now will be judged by a wider scientific community. That, however, is a good thing. Three, I will hopefully have a wider audience. That, too, is a good thing. Four, publicly disseminating my ideas and thoughts on the “established” literature so to speak, may lead to others picking up my ideas, and publishing them as their own. That is maybe a not so good thing, but I do not really fear that. Time will tell.
No supply chain bloggers?
What I found strange, though, is that there were no other supply chain bloggers on researchblogging.org. I am apparently the first one. Are supply chain researchers or academics not into blogging?
