Order Cheap Valium Online

Order cheap valium online, I've been thinking a lot about the various strands of work I've been cultivating over the past year (while working on a series of round-up posts), and there seems to be an underlying thread of reinventing scholarship, particularly with regard to transparency of the research process. With that in mind, I found Chris Anderson's recent posts on Radical Transparency extremely resonant:

Six tactics of transparent media
1) Show who we are. Ordering valium, All staff edit their own personal "about" pages, giving bios, contact details and job functions. Encourage anyone who wants to blog to do so, California CA Calif. . Have a masthead that actually means something to people who aren't on it. While we're at it, how about a real org chart, revealing the second dimension that's purposely obscured in the linear ranking on a traditional masthead, order cheap valium online.
Upside: Readers know who to contact. Generic valium, The organization is revealed as a collection of diverse individuals, not just a brand, an editor and some writers.
Risk: Competitors know who to poach; PR people spam us even more than usual, buy valium without prescription.

Read: public websites / blogs for scholars.

2) Show what we're working on Order cheap valium online, . We already have internal wikis that are common scratch pads for teams working on projects. Cheap valium online, And most writers have their own thread-gathering processes, often online. Why no open them to all. Who knows, Oklahoma OK Okla. , perhaps other people will have good ideas, too.
Upside: Tap the wisdom of crowds
Risk: Tip off competitors (although I'd argue that this would just as likely freeze them; after all the prior art would be obvious to all); Risks "scooping ourselves", robbing the final product of freshness, order cheap valium online. Valium prices,

This is the trickiest thing for humanists and social scientists to get past - the idea that describing your work in public before it's "published" (whatever that means anymore) leaves you open to idea theft, where what it really does is allow you to marshal the community behind your project (shades of Latour) and allow you to claim the territory early.

3) "Process as Content"*. Why not share the reporting as it happens, order valium no rx, uploading the text of each interview as soon as you can get it processed by your flat-world transcription service in India. (This may sound ridiculous, For valium online, but it's exactly what wire services such as the AP have long done--they update their stories with each new fragment of information). Order cheap valium online, After you've woven together enough of the threads to have a semi-coherent draft, why not ask your readers to help edit it. (We did it here, and it worked great). And while you're at it, billig kaufen valium, let them write the headlines and subheads, not just for the site but also the punchier ones for the RSS feed and the one that has to work with the art for the magazine. Valium online kaufen, Upside: Open participation can make stories better--better researched, better thought through and deeper. It also can crowdsource some of the work of the copy desk and editors. And once the story is done and published, the participants have a sense of collective ownership that encourages them to spread the word, order cheap valium online.
Risk: Curating the process can quickly hit diminishing returns, acquistare a buon mercato valium. Writers end up feeling like a cruise director, constantly trying to get people to participate. Oregon OR Ore. , And all the other risks of the item above.

We've got plans afoot for syndication of research streams via Zotero - I want a sidebar alongside this blog that would let colleagues see what I've been reading, and arguably how I've been fitting it together as I move through a body of work. Order cheap valium online, Add in the ability go generate feeds based on tags or particular projects, and things get really interesting. Let me do this collaboratively, cheap valium from canada, on the level of topical projects or discipline-wide organizations, and you're reinventing the role of departments and associations/societies. Cheap valium no rx,

4) Privilege the crowd. Why not give comments equal status to the story they're commenting on. Why not publish all letters to the editor as they're submitted (we did that here), buy valium overnight delivery, and let the readers vote on which are the best. We could promise to publish the top five each month, whether we like them or not: "Harness our tools of production, order cheap valium online. Make us print your words. Halvalla valium apteekki, Voting is Power!"
Upside: Maximizes participation.
Risk: If we don't deploy voting tools or (sigh) a login system, trolls may rule.

Two words: peer review, Jotta valium verkossa. Order cheap valium online, We already do it, we're just not calling it that.

5) Let readers decide what's best. We own Reddit, Buy valium online cheap, which (among other things) is a terrific way of measuring popularity. Why should we guess at which stories will be most popular and give those preferential treatment. Why not just measure what people really think and let statistics determine the hierarchy of the front page.
Upside: A front page that reflects reader interest better, order cheap valium online.
Risk: A more predictable and lowbrow front page, ordering valium no rx.

The risk here is particularly problematic for academics, though anything that drags us into more engagement with the world on the other side of the ivory walls is useful; the way to get past it is to allow for the creation of many "front pages" - one for History writ large, Valium online cheap, one for American historians, one for historians of 20th century American technology. Have people join whichever communities they choose, and vote there and there alone, acheter valium discount.

6) Wikifiy everything. Order cheap valium online, The realities of publishing is that at some point you push the publish button. In the traditional world, Ordering valium from canada, that's the end of the story. It is a snapshot in time, as good as we could make it but inevitably imperfect. The errors (and all articles have them) are a mix of commission and omission--we hope for the best yet brace ourselves for the worst, Rhode Island RI R.I. . But what if we published every story on a wiki platform, so they could evolve over time, Buy cheap valium, just like Wikipedia itself. The original story would be the foundation of what could eventually become a version expanded and updated by readers (our Fortune 500 blogging wiki was an experiment in this), order cheap valium online. If you want to see the original version, just push the "original" button, or see any changes in-between by looking at the version history.
Upside: Stories live and grow, remaining relevant long after their original publication (at no cost to us!)
Risk: Stories get progressively less coherent as many cooks mess with them. Whatever brand authority the Wired name brings is diminished over time as the stories become less and less our own work.

There's a lot of exploration that needs to be done here, particularly on the tension between allowing wikified *editing* and granular *commenting* - the latter preserves the authorial voice but requires a shift in how we read (seeing a text as the site of a discussion rather than a univocal lecture). I've been hearing a lot of murmurs about commenting and annotation lately, and I think that's going to be the solution once we get past the initial experimentation phase.

  1. Really interesting set of articles from Anderson.

    the way to get past it is to allow for the creation of many “front pages” – one for History writ large, one for American historians, one for historians of 20th century American technology. Have people join whichever communities they choose, and vote there and there alone.

    This is where I would see academic blog communities useful, like general blog communities such as the 9rules Network.

    Nice stuff, lots to think about!

  2. Josh,

    Absolutely – the question is how granular these communities need to be. Are we talking about professional societies, or small working groups. Actually, there’s likely a really interesting analysis to be done on how these clusters are *actually* forming in the academic blogosphere right now…
