“Certainly what people bring to the internet, such as their interest in science and how closely they follow scientific discoveries, shapes their online science habits.”Horrigan, John. The Internet as a Resource for
News and Information about Science. November 2006. http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/191/report_display.asp
Science & Research on the Internet
“These 1,000 or so science blogs provide
authoritative opinions about pressing issues in
science, such as evolution or climate change, or
aim to engage other scientists in open and frank
discussions about the scientific literature or
science policy. Because of their freewheeling
nature, these blogs take scientific
communication to a different level.”
Bonetta, L. Scientists Enter the Blogosphere.
Cell 129(3) 4 May 2007:443-445.
Blogs
Blog was originally short for Web Log, and
were used mostly as online equivalents of
diaries, journals, or logged entries on
specific topics.
Now blogs are used as content
management systems, to create RSS
feeds, inexpensive ways to design small
web sites, and more.
