Hacking the Academy & Online-Only Peer-Reviewed Journal PLoS ONE

GEDIs,

Here is the link to Dr. C's mention of "Hacking the Academy"

Also, PLoS ONE is a new take on academic publishing- a completely online journal. Given that most published research is out of date by the time it gets published in the traditional manner, PLoS has created a system that makes information available quicker. Moreover, and very innovative, PLoS also allows the articles to peer-reviewed openly after its publication. All published articles have a "comment" option that allows for discussion even after its initial publication.
