Are Weblogs useful in research? Will weblog writing become a significant -- indeed a dominant -- medium of scholarly discourse?
Walker and Mortensen [1] argue that weblogs and weblog cultures are already important. Indeed, at Hypertext '02, Walker suggested that the relationship between weblogs, links, and power was largely responsible for the comparative obscurity of hypertext research [2] (pdf)
Walker also offers a list of almost 30 Research Blogs [3].
Sebastien Paquet proposes that researchers should begin weblogs immediately, offering ten compelling reasons to support academic weblogs [4]. A Yahoo groups correspondent [5] replied with several cogent reasons why weblogs may be a poor fit to the mathematical sciences. |
