Peer-Reviewed Blogging

Some time back, Dave Munger and someother folks put together a site called BPR3.org designed to aggregate posts that discuss peer-reviewed research papers in detail. A major weakness of this was that it's sort of difficult to remember what the acronym stands for (every time I try to figure it out, I come up one "R" short...).

They've fixed this problem by relaunching as the more intuitive researchblogging.org, with a spiffy new aggregator and a nice home page collecting the most recent articles in different categories. Dave explains the basics on Cognitive Daily, whose "Peer Reviewed Research" icon kicked the whole thing off.

Now they have a new problem, namely the total lack of physics or astronomy papers-- it's just wall-to-wall philately. I don't do a great deal of this sort of blogging-- but if you're the sort of person who can't blog without LaTeX for the equations, consider signing up and sending them some physics posts.
