Science 2.0 - “Edit This” article in Scientific American

Filed under: Current Awareness — Melissa_DeSantis at 1:04 am on Thursday, January 24, 2008

Scientific American is running what they are calling “an experiment in networked journalism”.  An author has written an article about how researchers are beginning to use Web 2.0 technologies in their work.  He has posted a draft of his article and is soliciting feedback.  The feedback he receives will influence the article’s content and maybe even its point of view.  Additionally the author has posed questions he’d like feedback on.  He posted his article on Jan 9 and already today, Jan 23, he has received 89 comments.

This is an interesting idea and you, along with researchers, scientists, health care professionals or others at your institution, might want to add your comments too. Scientific American does not appear to be letting people post anonymous comments, they are requiring users to register with SciAm.com in order to leave a comment.  Here is the link to check it out:
