Peer review for academic blogs

The Valve - A Literary Organ | Idea for Discussion: An Academic Blog Review

Amardeep Singh, of The Valve literary review, proposes a system of academic blog reviewing, whereby people self-select individual blog posts they’ve written for review by others, via a community system such as proposed in some of the contributions to Nature's peer-review debate (see left-hand vertical column for a link). The proposal is intended to help those with academic blogs to be able to "publish", or at least, to "credentialize", selected shorter posts in addition to their more formal publications in the literature.
