The esteemed publication, Scientific American, is trying something a little different. It has posted the draft of an article, inviting readers to post comments on it. The article happens to be about the use of Web 2.0 (blogs, wikis, etc) in science and how it may open science up to be collaborative, so it’s an appropriate article for this experiment.

SciAm says that comments will influence the reporting, content and even point of view of the final version of the piece, which will appear in the print edition.

Nature is mentioned a fair bit in the article, including Nature Network and Connotea.

So I invite you to post your comments there.
