From the ScienceBlogs consortium comes this interesting idea: what if there was an icon that allowed bloggers to signify when they are discussing/citing peer-reviewed research? More details and discussion is available here.
It's an interesting idea & one that I was surprised to run across. Obviously, this is something that science bloggers, or academic bloggers in general, would be concerned with...I doubt that Go Fug Yourself is really concerned with such issues (although I would love to read a peer-reviewed article that dealt with heinous fashion crimes by celebrities).
Anyhow, it's good to know that it's not just librarians who are so worked up about such things.

Thanks for the interesting post! I think that an icon indicating "peer review", "speculation", "angry rant", and so on would really help me determine what to read and what not to read :)! I wonder what the Fug girls would consider peer-reviewed? W Magazine? Vogue? TMZ?
