Steve Caruso has posted this month\u2019s biblioblog rankings. The top biblioblog this month was Debunking Christianity<\/a>, which demonstrated its character as a biblioblog by tackling the topic of the historical Jesus (among other things), doing its part to spread a mainstream scholarly approach among atheists, some of whom find mythicism attractive.<\/p>\n

Exploring Our Matrix came in at #3<\/a>. Thank you to all visitors, and special thanks to Steve Caruso for devising a way for non-self-hosted WordPress blogs to participate. We need to get Jesus Creed, The Bible and Culture, Euangelion and perhaps others from Patheos to install the script as well.<\/p>\n

If you didn\u2019t scroll down all the way, you may have missed some important points. One is Steve\u2019s appeal for help with web space and staffing for the Biblioblog Reference Library \u2013 whether actual financial assistance, grant-writing, or web hosting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ The other is the suggestion<\/a> that we as a group explore the possibilities and potentials<\/a> of peer-reviewed<\/a> biblioblogging. I\u2019m not sure that trying to offer peer review of some select blog posts makes sense, as opposed to submitting them to an already-existing online journal or, if necessary, creating a new one. But I would suggest that bibliobloggers ought to make more use of the label (see the image on the right) indicating when they are blogging about<\/em> peer-reviewed research, and thus either performing the service of mediating peer-reviewed research to a wider audience, or evaluating the peer-reviewed work of others in a public venue as part of their own ongoing research, to be submitted to a peer-reviewed publication (traditional or<\/a> digital<\/a>) at some later point in a more fully-developed form. Those interested in doing so should visit ResearchBlogging.org<\/a>. As you\u2019ll see, the humanities are not really represented there, but we ought to be, and could be. So perhaps that should be the next step for bibliobloggers blogging about and interacting with peer-reviewed research.<\/p>\n

Let me conclude by thanking Steve once again for all his work on the Biblioblog Reference Library (among other projects \u2013 wink<\/a>).<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
