研究博客已经成为一个流行的快速讨论学术信息的机制。然而，与同行评议的期刊不同，这种形式的科学论述的特点没有得到很好的理解，例如，在博客作者的教育水平、性别和机构隶属关系方面的传播。在本文中，我们通过分析一个名为ResearchBlogging.org(RB)的聚合器讨论科学的博客文章样本来填补这一空白。ResearchBlogging.org根据同行评议的研究汇总帖子，并允许博客作者以学术的方式引用他们的来源。我们研究了至少发布了20条信息的博客作者、博客文章和参考期刊。我们发现，RB博客作者表现出对来自高影响力期刊的论文的偏好，博客主要是关于生命科学和行为科学的研究。样本中最常被引用的期刊来源是：《科学》、《自然》、《公共科学图书馆》和《公共科学图书馆·综合》。我们样本中的大多数博客作者都有活跃的Twitter帐户与他们的博客连接，其中至少90%的帐户连接到至少一个与RB相关的其他Twitter帐户。在我们的样本中，RB博客的平均作者是男性，要么是研究生，要么是获得博士学位的人，并以自己的名字写博客。
The research blog has become a popular mechanism for the quick discussion of scholarly information. However, unlike peer-reviewed journals, the characteristics of this form of scientific discourse are not well understood, for example in terms of the spread of blogger levels of education, gender and institutional affiliations. In this paper we fill this gap by analyzing a sample of blog posts discussing science via an aggregator called ResearchBlogging.org (RB). ResearchBlogging.org aggregates posts based on peer-reviewed research and allows bloggers to cite their sources in a scholarly manner. We studied the bloggers, blog posts and referenced journals of bloggers who posted at least 20 items. We found that RB bloggers show a preference for papers from high-impact journals and blog mostly about research in the life and behavioral sciences. The most frequently referenced journal sources in the sample were: Science, Nature, PNAS and PLoS One. Most of the bloggers in our sample had active Twitter accounts connected with their blogs, and at least 90% of these accounts connect to at least one other RB-related Twitter account. The average RB blogger in our sample is male, either a graduate student or has been awarded a PhD and blogs under his own name.
