Blogging on Peer Reviewed Research in Sport and Exercise
One of the comments that we've had back from members is that they would like more reference to peer-reviewed research. Well, thanks to Dan Peterson (an Information Services Director from Wisconsin, USA) and Mark Helme for leading the way, and showing how it can be done.
Practitioners in the field don't have access to the latest databases and journals a lot of the time. When someone like Dan blogs on a subject that relates peer-reviewed research to the practical world of sport, it is very helpful. It gives someone like me a reference to explore. And as I've argued before, the more we all blog, the more we all learn and develop as professionals.
What Dan also shows is that you don't have to be an academic to blog on research and make yourself a valuable part of our community. But, let's be fair, there are many students and academics on iStadia that have peer-reviewed research at their fingertips.
I'm sure that I speak for many sport and exercise professionals when I say that, no matter how confident you might be in your writing style, or whether you think you have anything unique or interesting to say, blogs that keep us informed about what is going on in the world of research are of great value.
So thanks, Dan and Mark, and to the rest of the community: Next time you see an interesting piece of research, please tell us about it!
P.S. It also gives us another place to promote your material, which we love to do:
