Science 2.0

[Tatiana]

Scientific American published an online feature article "Science 2.0" about the use of "wikis, blogs and other Web 2.0 technologies as a potentially transformative way of doing science".

Scientists are quite slow in embracing blogging, but other tools like open access science publishing PLoS ONE or wiki OpenWetWare are gaining popularity.

The article is also an experiment on "networked journalism", meaning that the readers are invited to contribute by commenting on its content and reporting before it gets forwarded to the press.
