Bloggers for Peer-Reviewed Research Reporting is a fledgling organization that's going to try and impose some standards on the reporting of peer-reviewed papers by bloggers. Here's their mission statement at [BPR3.org].
Bloggers for Peer-Reviewed Research Reporting strives to identify serious academic blog posts about peer-reviewed research by developing an icon and an aggregation site where others can look to find the best academic blogging on the Net.The idea is to list all blog posts about peer-reviewed scientific literature on one site (with an RSS feed) and to identify all such blogs with a copyrighted icon. I've expressed some skepticism about this attempt to organize bloggers (sort of like herding cats) [Bloggers for Peer-Reviewed Research Reporting] but let's see how it works out.
Here are the three finalist in the icon contest from BPR3 website. Vote below.
'Herding cats'! I think you've got it in one! They could try keeping cats out with a fence, but cats are inclinded to use your garden at night when no one's looking.
ReplyDeleteAlternatively you can always cage cats and that's what really worries me.
Oh, please, herding cats? Cats have their pride.
