In January I started the Rogue Scholar blog archive with the slogan "science blogging on steroids", promising to enhance science blogs in important ways. Earlier this month I began DOI registrations for blog posts, and I am well on track to complete this for the included 35 blogs with more than 1,000 blog posts in the next few weeks.

You can subscribe to all the blogs you are interested in via an RSS Reader and use various strategies to find and read interesting content, but some people prefer to receive regular email updates instead.

Rogue Scholar has an API

Published

The Rogue Scholar science blog archive has launched a dedicated API today, publicly available at https://api.rogue-scholar.org and complementing the website. Rogue Scholar had an API before but with two important limitations. <strong> Serverless </strong> . The API at https://rogue-scholar.org/api uses serverless technology, which isn't a good fit for long-running resource-intense processes.

Generating Overlay blog posts

https://doi.org/10.53731/gzrse-p5d35
Published

On Monday the Rogue Scholar science blog archive launched a dedicated API. Today I am reporting on the first Jupyter notebook using that API to generate an overlay blog post. An <strong> overlay blog post </strong> applies the idea of an <strong> overlay journal </strong> to science blog posts, and the Rogue Scholar API – in combination with content that has an open license (CC-BY) – makes that easy.
