Posting Research Online (In The Pipeline)
In his blog, Derek Lowe writes about a new policy of the journal Nature to begin posting research online to be subjected to "blog-style comments," noting that so far very few papers have been posted and even fewer have received any comments. "What I'd like to see is an idea that's been proposed before, but never implemented in chemistry: comments on papers after they've published … heck, I'd go all out and put a hit counter on each paper, so you could see what's getting attention and what isn't," he writes.
