Icons for peer-reviewed blogging 29 Oct 200718 Sep 2017 The above are icons to be used when blogging on actual peer-reviewed research (as opposed to popular reports or kookery). I had a marginal involvement in this (I made some passing comments early on) so it is with great pride… no, actually, it’s all down to Dave Munger, who was a champion. I had nothing useful to do with it. Here’s what Dave said: We’re pleased to announce that BPR3‘s Blogging on Peer Reviewed Research icons are now ready to go! Anyone can use these icons to show when they’re making a serious post about peer-reviewed research, rather than just linking to a news article or press release. Within a month, these blog posts will also be aggregated at BPR3.org, so everyone can go to one place to locate the most serious, thoughtful analysis and commentary on the web. I encourage science bloggers to use this wisely, to identify a blog about actual reviewed papers. I guess it also applies to us humanities types too.

Academe My article in Times Higher Education Magazine 16 Jun 2011 Is here (scroll down), based on a prior post on this blog. In it I make the somewhat radical suggestion that medial and legal degrees should be removed from universities also. One of the commentators there took issue: I worry about Wilkins’ views about medicine and law. As he rightly… Read More
Administrative Me-mail 21 May 2011 I hate moving, so the Universe has kindly arranged that I must do it around once per year. Despite having pared my possessions down to a begging bowl, loin cloth, and several thousand books, it is still a royal pain. But the worst aspect of it is that you have… Read More
Administrative Testing… is this thing on? *tap, tap* 22 Mar 2011 Can you all hear me? Up the back? Just testing to see if the new host is working. We have some unfinished trimmings, like the blogroll, but if you can see this, put a comment below. If you can’t, don’t. Read More
I don’t get why your post on Ruse’s entry in SEP was notated as a peer-reviewed item. Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help John. We’ve appreciated your support. And, as you point out, the icon can indeed be used by “humanities types” — it’s something I’ve insisted on from the beginning. It’s about blogging based on *research*, not just science research.
Okay, I was under the impression that this particular piece by Ruse was more of an editorial than a peer-reviewed article. But, I have never been a philosophy student, so it is hard for me to tell the difference.
I know this because I am a coauthor on one of the articles, and my revisions have been subjected to peer review. Maybe Ruse’s contributions aren’t, but as I understand it, the entire publication is.
Of course I trust you on this and I wasn’t questioning you, I was just trying to get some clarification.
