To try to keep on top of the ongoing debate over the place and value of scholarly blogging in academia, I'm starting a page to document articles, arguments, and related sources on this subject. Feel free to add any sources you find (or already know about and recommend).

NB: This one makes an important argument applicable to the Landing. "Universities [in] increasing numbers are creating blogging home pages in their eagerness to have their staff blog, not only to inform other academics as well as outsiders of their research, but also to use blogging as a new pedagogical-teaching system."

"Compiling a referenced article for publication in a peer-reviewed journal is traditionally the most respected means of contributing to a body of knowledge. However, we argue that publication of evidence-based information via new media – especially blogging – can also be a valid form of academic scholarship."
...And yet, ironically, the article is still in a peer-review, subscriber-access journal...
