Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, the authors describe how to use internet blogging tools to accelerate peer review of academic and scientific research. Blogging provides the ability to reach out to geographically dispersed experts, and others – such as the students often difficult to reach advisors, professors, and professional colleagues- to express and solicit research opinions and input in either public or private forums. In so doing, the student’s work gains the benefit of cumulative ideation from experts in the field, resulting in a more thoroughly vetted, tested and peer-reviewed content, prior to even the first draft publication of the work. In this chapter, the authors describe the growth of blogging in general, and provide specific and practical recommendations for setting up a blog to solicit and obtain peer review of a PhD student’s in process dissertation.
