The document discusses using WordPress to share research findings more easily. It notes that researchers currently have many bibliographic and content APIs and sites but need code examples to integrate them into WordPress. It proposes improving blogs as a mechanism for critical reflection and discussion by developing plugins that allow researchers to drag content from services like Zotero directly into WordPress posts. This would help individual scholars more easily organize and discuss the large amounts of information they collect through various online research tools.

research, you
haven't done
enough research.”

5. We’ll never use all this:

6. We already have
Great bibliography sites with APIs, like:
Connotea
LibraryThing
Zotero

7. http://www.connotea.org/wiki/WebAPI

8. We already have
Great content sites with APIs, like
Chronicling America

9. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/about/api/

10. We need code and examples
for using these APIs

Improve blogs as an
mechanism for critical
reflection and discussion
on our research.

13. Some Current Solutions

14. CommentPress

15. Headup

16. Citation Aggregator

17. Atelier

18. Scenario:
Individual scholar uses host
of web services for research,
wants to easily sort through
that content for writing posts
and pages in WordPress

19. Atelier - Panel for Adding Post Content
Drag items from
your stored
content into posts

20. Thanks, now let’s
