Science 2.0 - If research papers hat a comment section - Update

A while ago Jorge Cham had this wonderful cartoon on PhD Comic what it would be like if research papers had a comment section.

Today I found a real world example on the GEON web pages. http://www.geongrid.org/index.php/news/comments/interop_gin_the_geosciences_information_network/P2750/

ROFL!

Meanwhile, I found another example in the comments section at the Digital Curation Centre.

GEON quickly covered up this blunder and removed the comments section. I should have made a screenshot.

Research Papers said...

Many institutions limit access to their online information. Making this information available will be an asset to all.

@ Research Papers: I am fully in favour of Open Access. I just laughed about the idea of academic spam in the cartoon and then found some real spam in the comments sections of research project web pages. The need for careful editing should not be underestimated. ;-)

It is obvious that any kind of scientific writing is quite sweaty and tedious process which requires previous experience, strong determination, great patience and reliable support.
