New science blog research aggregator

Filed under: Weblogs, Infrastructure Support — Bryan Alexander @ 02:40:40 am

ResearchBlogging uses blogs to aggregate new scientific research.

# Bloggers -- often experts in their field -- find exciting new peer-reviewed research they'd like to share. They write thoughtful posts about the research for their blogs.
# Bloggers register with us and use a simple one-line form to create a snippet of code to place in their posts. This snippet not only notifies our site about their post, it also creates a properly formatted research citation for their blog.
# Our software automatically scans registered blogs for posts containing our code snippet. When it finds them, it indexes them and displays them on our front page -- thousands of posts from hundreds of blogs, in one convenient place, organized by topic.

It's newly launched, so some disciplinary departments lack content. Those with content to examine include biology, clinical research, mathematics, philosophy of science and science ethics, and psychology.
