Francesc Balagué (interesting reading if you’re into Education 2.0, in Spanish) asks me for some references around new science publishing and diffusion systems (e.g. blogs).
Best I can do is provide the references of my own readings, gathered into a collection I named Research Blogs and Blogging for Science Diffusion (
