Open Laboratory 2007 - last call for submissions

Openlab 2007
[Bumped up for visibility - and it makes it easier for me to keep updating with new entries] Now that the Science Blogging Conference is getting very close, it is time to remind you that the new edition of the Science Blogging Anthology, "Open Laboratory 2007", is in the works and is (still) accepting your suggestions.

Although the entire process, from the initial idea all the way to having a real book printed and up for sale, took only about a month, the Open Laboratory 2006 was a great success. This year, we have had much more time so we hope we will do an even better job of it.

More than 180 329 410 entries have come in so far (see under the fold) and we are looking for more. I have read them all and written my annotations about each, while Reed Cartwright is in the process of reading them closely as we speak. He is recruiting several other bloggers to act as referees and help him decide - if you want to be a referee, post a comment here or here.

In the end, he will be the final aribiter of which 50 posts, plus one poem and one cartoon, will make it into the anthology. Think of me as a 'series editor' and Reed as the '2007 editor'.

As we are bloggers, we like transparency. As much as the automated submission form makes our lives easy, we decided that it would be best if, like last year, we made the list of entries public. That way, you can all see them, read them, comment about them, and see what is missing and needs to be entered before the deadline comes (December 20th 2007).

Please, use the submission form to enter your submissions (i.e., putting a link in the comments of this post will not do you any good) and pick up the code for the cool badges (like the one on top of this post) here to help us spread the word.

As I wrote earlier:

Clicking on the button will take you to the submission form. Reed and I will get e-mail notification every time there is a new entry and we will read them all and jot down some 'notes to self'. Since we have ten months to do this, we will not need a jury of 12 bloggers to help us read all the entries, but do not be surprised if we ask you to vet/factcheck/peer-review a post that is in your domain of expertise (and not ours) later in the year.

So, go back to December 20th, 2006 and start looking through your archives as well as archives of your favourite science bloggers and look for real gems - the outstanding posts. Many have been written recently for the "Science Only Week", or for the "Basic Terms and Concepts" collection.

Try to look for posts that cover as many areas of science blogging as posssible: mathematics, astronomy, cosmology, physics, chemistry, earth science, atmospheric/climate science, marine science, biochemistry, genetics, molecular/cellular/developmental biology, anatomy/physiology, behavior, ecology, paleontology, evolution, psychology, anthropology, archaeology, and/or history of science, philosophy of science, sociology of science, science ethics and rhetorics, science communication and education, the business of science, the Life in Academia (from undergraduate, graduate, postdoc, faculty or administrative perspective), politics of science, science and pseudoscience, science and religion, etc.

Also, try to think of different post formats: essays, personal stories, poems, polemics, fiskings, textbook-style prose, etc. For now, let's assume that color images cannot make it into the book (I'll let you know if that changes) and certainly copyrighted (by others) material is a No-No. Posts that are too heavily reliant on multiple links are difficult to turn into hardcopy as well. Otherwise, write and submit stuff and hopefully one of your posts will make it into the Best 50 Science Posts of 2007 and get published!

Under the fold are the entries so far. About half have been submitted by authors, the rest by readers. I hope you don't need to ask us to remove an entry of yours, but if that is the case (e.g., you intend to include it in your own book), please contact me about it.

Reading all the entries so far will help you think of other posts, yours or others', that may fit in here. Perhaps a big story of this year is not covered in any of the submissions so far. Perhaps you remember a post which covers a story better than the entry we already have. Have we missed a really popular post that everyone loved and linked to?

Also, if you are an expert in an area and you have BIG problems with one of the entries in your field, please let us know soon so we can send it out for further peer-review. As was the case last year, only English-language posts are eligible. If you have written an awesome post in another language, please make a GOOD translation available before submission.

We are looking especially for more poems and more original cartoons.

The entries are arranged in alphabetical order of the name of the blog (because all attempts at categorization failed), which makes it easy to get my own out of the way first, and let you go on quickly to see all the really cool writers of the science blogosphere. If a blog has multiple contributors, the author of the submitted post(s) is named in parentheses.

Well, The Day has arrived! After reading all of the 486 entries at least once (and many 2-3 times) and after calculating all of the judges' ratings of all the posts, Reed Cartwright and I are happy to announce which blog posts will be published in the second science blogging anthology, the "Open…

OK, OK, I submitted a couple entries! I mean, it's not like you're going to suffer a lack of good writing, or anything, but I'd feel like a slacker if I didn't.

I'll find some entries since, judging by the list above with nominations from Bad Astronomy and so on, it doesn't seem to be confined to those blogs actually hosted by ScienceBlogs (or if it is, could this be clarified?).

I hope people are considering supporting the wide variety of entries by including poetry, as The Ridger says. I've just thrown in quite a few entries on the blog 'Digital Cuttlefish', who has caught some attention this year with not only a win with a 'Molly', but a regular commentator on about a dozen blogs with fantastic verse contributions. Let's get relevant variety going! :)

Yes, there is definitely going to be a poem included.

I update this post every couple of days as sufficient number of new entries accumulate. The judges will work directly from the Submission form, but I wanted to make the entries public and the best way appears to be this post and its updates.

I submitted a two articles ~2 weeks ago, but haven't received a notification concerning their status (i.e. whether they were received, etc.)
