This post, Pito’s Blog: RSS in the Academic/Research/Scientific community, looks like it could be a rather useful resource to keep on file:

I recently wondered out loud (on a couple of mailing lists) how much action there is with RSS and Blogging within the Academic/Research/Scientific community.

The reason for that question was that I was considering that with those folks refereed, scholarly articles are what counts which seems diametrically opposite to the casual, ad-hoc, first-person rants that are generally associated with blogging. (Ok I am just exaggerating to make a point.)

I learned that there’s actually lots and lots going on with RSS and Blogging in that world….

What follows after this snippet are sixteen different things that were spotted involving RSS and Blogging in Academic circles. Very cool.
