How ResearchBlogging.org works
ResearchBlogging.org is a system for identifying the best, most thoughtful blog posts about peer-reviewed research.
Since many blogs combine serious posts with more personal or frivolous posts, our site offers a way to find only the most carefully-crafted posts about cutting-edge research, often written by experts in their respective fields.
Here's how it works.
- Bloggers register with our site
- They continue blogging as normal, but when they write a post that meets our guidelines, they visit our site
- They use our automated citation generator to create a properly-formatted research citation for the journal article they are citing
- They paste the code we provide into their post
- Our automated aggregator finds their post and publishes it on our front page, where thousands of readers can easily find it
- A reference to their post remains permanently in our database, so users searching for posts on a specified topic can easily find it later
