Dear all
I was wondering if anyone would have any information on the extent to which higher education students use academic / research blogs, how they are as perceived as sources when writing essays and other pieces of work, and also how some blogs come to be judged as legitimate academic expressions / educational resources, while others do not. For example, would the fact that it is connected to a university / research council funded project / well known researcher be enough?
Thanks and best wishes,

Ah, now there's a topic that's worth a wider response. Not just because
it's topical (see http://tinyurl.com/5h5u6l)*, but because this sort of
thing has been making its way into research culture for some time, and
I'd be interested in hearing what others make of the practice.
Research blogs? Pro/con?
Blogs with a geographical element that come to mind include:
http://www.spaceandculture.org/
http://www.whereproject.org/
http://www.sprol.com/
http://www.southernspaces.org/
http://cyberbadger.blogspot.com/
some more research-ish, or bloggish than others...
