[Yulpub] Blogs and podcasts as adjuncts to journals

[Suzanne Lorimer]

Posted this morning on LIBREF-L by Gerry McKiernan, Science and Technology 
Librarian, Iowa State University Library :

I recently learned that The American Journal of Bioethics ( 
http://www.bioethics.net/journal/ ) has a companion Editors Blog titled 
blog.bioethics.net ( http://blog.bioethics.net/ ). An article about this 
journal blog is discussed in the December 1, 2005 issue of _Nature_ in a 
great piece by Declan Butler on blogs (and wikis) titled "Science in the 
web age: Joint efforts" (_Nature_ 438, 548-549 (1 December 2005) | 
doi:10.1038/438548a).  The blog.bioethics.net itself includes text from the 
article:

"Blogs associated with traditional journals may help bridge the gap between 
the literature and blogs, says Glenn McGee, editor-in-chief of The American 
Journal of Bioethics. The leading journal in its field, it was the first to 
create a companion blog, Blog.Bioethics.Net. The bioethics blog allows the 
journal to respond faster and in different ways to public controversies, 
says McGee. The blog has high impact, he adds, often influencing reporting 
on ethical issues by the mainstream media." [MORE]

I am Greatly Interested in Learning of Any and All Other Journals that have 
(or are considering) a companion blog (or Wiki?).

In response to my recent posting on journal blogs/wikis, I have learned 
from Michelle Kraft, Medical Librarian, South Pointe Hospital, Warrensville 
Heights, Ohio, that in addition to having a blog, the _Journal of Medical 
Practice Management_ offers Podcasts! [WOW]

The Blog and Podcasts are available from the Sound Practice.net site:
