Help build BPR3’s blogroll!

Administration 11 Comments
By Dave Munger

As we build BPR3’s web presence, we’ve begun to realize that we only link to a fraction of the sites with missions similar to ours.  We know there are lots of great sites we don’t link to, and we imagine there are lots more we don’t even know about.

Here’s your chance to help us out. What sites will be good resources to include on our blogroll (they don’t even have to be blogs)?

While we’re asking, we could also use your help in another area: what additional features would you like to see on BPR3? A forum? A wiki? How would you use these things? Let us know in the comments section.

    I would nominate Gruntled Center for the blogroll, written by my fellow sociologist Beau Weston of Centre College. He frequently posts brief summaries of breaking research, or writes postings that bring two or more peer-reviewed studies into juxtaposition and considers what they are saying. His blog, like mine, contains notes about his family. He has, on occasion, taken up the task of reflecting on a recent book in a series of posts over several days.

    An attempt to discuss microfluidics research, lab-on-a-chip devices, and interesting pop-sci topics. The blog is part of the American Institute of Physics’ first open access journal, Biomicrofluidics. http://blog.biomicrofluidics.org/

    I have been looking for something very similar to this for a few months now, and I am excited to see it exists!

    I am interested in providing academic reviews in oceanography and paleoceanography, and how these fields are currently gaining wider public attention (since Cousteau that is) due to the current political climate change debate.

    I am a PhD student in chemical oceanography, and basically I study the above.

    Currently, my blog is dedicated to scientific news and discoveries in all fields, but I am in the process of writing a number OCGY reviews for our department zine (a work in progress).

    Our blog is focused on psychology and interpersonal relationships. We discuss peer-reviewed articles, books, and news-relevant stories.

    Thanks for this outlet. I’m looking forward to seeing how things progress.

    I should point out that there are really two types of sites we should be linking:

    1. sites that are sympathetic to the goals of BPR3 — libraries, publishers, copyright and other organizations, and so on. This is the sort of thing I was envisioning for the blogroll proper

    2. Sites that write about peer-reviewed research — the academic blogs themselves. Eventually this second list will probably be so large that it won’t be possible to display it all on the main page.

    We’re happy to get suggestions for both types of links, but it would be good if suggestions could indicate which type of link they are.

    You might want to make two lists then. Everyone that has been participating by commenting on this blog should be included (presumably they all write about peer-reviewed research on occasion). My blog, The Other 95% falls into category 2. You could have categories for each list that include drop-down menus, subfolders or something of that like with links to each blog. i.e. Biology->Ecology->[list of ecology blogs], etc.

    I still believe people should register with BPR3 to use the icon. This puts them on the blogroll as word gets out and bloggers blog in.

    The Manipulation Of Human Behavior

    If you know how people think and why they think it you will then be able to lead them how you wish. I intend to spread awareness of the manipulation of human behavior so that we may have a greater understanding of the world we live in as well as ourselves.
