Responses to ?Rethinking Blogging-As-Scholarship?

By Orin Kerr

Last night?s post Rethinking Blogging-As-Scholarship has triggered some interesting responses, and I wanted to provide links for those interested: Doug Berman, Steve Bainbridge, Ann Althouse.

In collective response to Doug, Steve, and Ann, I agree that the question isn?t whether blogging ?is? scholarship, ?can be? scholarship, or ?has to be? scholarship. Rather, I think the question is the extent to which those who write scholarly blog posts are participating in a useful way (and are recognized as participating in a useful way) in the scholarly enterprise. My sense is that they often are, more than I anticipated in 2005.
