Wikis in education

• Science Journal Publishers Wary of Free Information
• Declan Butler
• Nature on blogging in science
  • From Science in the web age: Science in the web age: The expanding electronic universe: "Young scientists are often reluctant to express their thoughts online out of fear that it is somehow inappropriate, or even possibly damaging to their careers."
  • From Science in the web age: Joint efforts: "...younger researchers, in particular, are concerned that scientists are missing out on new ways to communicate with each other and the public."
• Web journals threaten peer-review system: "Some researchers might only post unhelpful one-liners for fear of reprisal. Granting anonymity may boost participation, but could lead to "malicious postings from cracks"".
• Open Reading Frame - open access/open science Category Archive
• BiOS - Biological Open Source Initiative

Wiki Science

• Wiki Science is the study of how the phenomenon of wikis, and free, open collaborative works in general (like free software and open source), are growing, changing and adapting.
