Blogs as a supplement to research papers
Today, researchblogging.com announced that it has been incorporated into article-level metrics at PLOS. As I have blogged about researchblogging before, it is a great website for capturing credible interpretations of research. Now when a blog post covers a paper published in PLOS, it will appear on the metrics page.
Blogs complement research nicely to give concise summaries of new published papers, and as more and more scientists get online to blog, they are even becoming more accepted as references in peer reviewed publishings.
There are some great health writers who post to researchblogging, I highly recommend subscribing to the health category RSS feed, or starting an evidence based blog yourself to contribute.
