What is Blogworthy?

Feb 06, 2015

What is Blogworthy?As you might know, I am as we speak in the process of crunching numbers from #MySciBlog survey (which you might have helped fund!). I had 610 valid responses from science bloggers.
One series of survey items in #MySciBlog survey asked bloggers how important different factors are to them when deciding whether a given scientific paper, story idea, topic, etc. is worth blogging about. The figure below reveals the means and standard deviations across all participants, for how important they rate these different factors on a scale of 1 (not at all important) to 7 (extremely important).
The full topline questionnaire for #MySciBlog survey is available here.

About This Project

Something is wrong on the Internet! What does the Science Blogger do?

Louisiana State University

The goal of this project is to understand how science bloggers choose what to write about. What makes them write about Ebola? Gender inequality in science? Bad science on the internet? I'm doing interviews and a survey to find out.

Follow my hashtag #MySciBlog for things science bloggers say.

If you are a science blogger yourself, you can support this project by signing up to receive my survey when it is ready. Just click here.
