What constitutes research blogging?


Mathemagenic discusses research blogging and she found, based on her experience, that research blogging covers the following tasks:

  • publishing / dissemination / announcements (of papers, presentations, events by me and others)- research process

  • reflections

  • emotions

  • event blogging
    • notes- reflections- event planning (including travel planning)
  • paper blogging (notes on papers I read)
  • asking for help (explicit)
  • “enculturation” into research (reflection/learning on research culture, practices, tricks of the trade, etc.)
  • articulation
    • articulation of personal experiences (relevant for PhD)- articulation of problems/questions (may be implicit call for help, but often just thinking aloud)
  • writing-related (this is the difficult one)
    • drafting/testing pieces that supposed to go into a paper- giving space to pieces that do not fit into a paper
  • reflections on methodology
