Blog Pick of the Month – February 2010

February is a short month, but that did not deter bloggers. There were 26 excellent blog posts covering PLoS ONE articles aggregated on ResearchBlogging.org in the past month. So, it is time today to reveal the Pick Of The Month. Drumroll, please…..
This month’s winner is Princess Ojiaku from the Science with Moxie blog, for her [...]

Blog Pick of the Month – January 2010

It’s first of the month, time for the Pick Of The Month for January 2010.
There were 34 excellent blog posts covering PLoS ONE articles aggregated on ResearchBlogging.org in January. This was a tough month to judge as so many posts were very, very good. But I had to choose one in the end, [...]

Blog Pick of the Month – December 2009

Happy New Year, to everyone from everyONE!
I’ll start the blogging in this year (and decade) here by doing what I like the best: reading multitudes of great blog posts covering PLoS ONE research and picking – as difficult it is to choose – the one I liked the best in the previous month. It’s the [...]

Blog Pick of the Month – November 2009

It’s that time again, the first of the month and the time to announce the Pick Of The Month award for November.
There were 18 blog posts covering PLoS ONE articles aggregated on ResearchBlogging.org in November. And the one that caught my attention was How Raptor Talons Fit Their Prey by John Beetham from the [...]

Blog Pick of the Month – October 2009

The first of November was yesterday, but since it was Sunday (when so few people are online), I decided to wait until today to announce the Pick Of The Month award for October. There were 23 blog posts covering PLoS ONE articles aggregated on ResearchBlogging.org in October. A couple of those were re-posts of older [...]

Blog Pick of the Month – September 2009

It is the 1st of October, thus the time to award the Pick Of The Month award for September. There were 19 blog posts covering PLoS ONE articles aggregated on ResearchBlogging.org in September and all of them were very, very good.
This month, the winner is Alun Salt. He starts his post like this:
Imagine you had [...]

And this month, the winner is Bjoern Brembs. He starts his post like this:
Use it or lose it, they say. The saying holds [...]

Blog Pick(s) of the Month – July 2009

It is the first of August, so it’s time to award the Pick Of The Month award for July. There were 25 blog posts covering PLoS ONE articles aggregated on ResearchBlogging.org in July.
Again, this was a tough call. I could have gone with any of the three good posts about Matilda, Clancy and Banjo, or [...]

Blog Pick of the Month – June 2009

In June, there were 25 blog posts covering PLoS ONE articles aggregated on ResearchBlogging.org. Again – this is becoming cliche, but it’s true – I was thoroughly enjoying reading all of them and the decision was really hard to make. So I started narrowing down to semi-finalist, then finalists, and in the end…..my [...]

Blog Post Of The Month – May 2009

In May, there were 48 blog posts (a big jump in comparison to 27 in March and 29 in April) covering PLoS ONE articles aggregated on ResearchBlogging.org. Well, really 47 since one of them is ineligible due to conflict of interest. Reading all the posts is becoming a full-time job! Keep them coming!
I was somewhat [...]

Blog Post Of The Month – April 2009

It is the first of May, thus the time to award my Pick Of The Month award for April. There were 29 blog posts covering PLoS ONE articles aggregated on ResearchBlogging.org in April (and several good ones I saw that are not on the aggregator, thus not eligible for the prize). Just like last month, [...]

Blog Post Of The Month – March 2009

Yes, it’s April 1st, but this is not an April Fool’s joke. This is real. On the first day of every month, as I mentioned earlier, you are invited to visit everyONE to see who has won the Blog Post Of The Month prize.
In the month of March, there were 27 blog posts covering PLoS [...]

Blog Coverage and the Pick Of The Month

As PLoS ONE publishes articles in a wide range of disciplines, including many articles that receive large media coverage, it is not surprising that many also receive coverage on science blogs. As some bloggers are not affiliated with large research institutions where they have access to all the published research through their academic libraries, the [...]
