Web 2.0: Two-Way Communications

• Nature Network (http://network.nature.com) – Personalization, Hubs (Boston, London), “Friends” vs. “Contacts”
• Postgenomic.com
• Researchblogging.org – Provides an ICON to indicate “Peer Reviewed” .. peer reviewed

Social Bookmarking for Scholars: (like del.icio.us) – keeps citations down to journal/article level

• Cannotea
• 2Collab
• CiteULike

Peer Review:

• Nature – Open Peer Review – “Peer to Peer”

Open Notebook Science

• Online Lab Notebook, Blogs, Wikis, etc.
• Ex. Openwetware.org
• Perhaps less useful due to “Noise to Information ration”

Open Access – Online Journals

• PLoS ONE – Published by: Public Library of Science: limited peer review (qualitative of method, not importance), can “rate” the article, can view “trackbacks” (who is citing the article.
