Nature published a recent article about the top science blogs written by active scientists. A few highlights:
- Many hands make light work: five of the top ten science blogs are written not by individuals but by groups of scientists.
- Publisher scienceblogs.com has been recruiting star science bloggers: 22 of the top 50 science blogs, including Pharyngula, now live on its site. Scienceblogs pays its bloggers US$70 a month for 50,000 to 250,000 page views, and $300 for 250,000 to 1 million, according to one blogger.
Nature profiles the top 5 blogs and provides an extended list of the top 50 science blogs. Also interesting are the top science blogs by writers (not current active researchers).
It ranked the blogs using Technorati, a leading blog search engine. The top 5 article goes into detail about how the list was compiled.
