German Scholarly Blogs and their Attributes

This document describes a dataset that contains information on 866 German scholarly blogs. The data were aggregated through various sources, including scholarly blogging platforms, the German National Library and blogrolls. The dataset contains general data (research field, activity status, language, authors’ institutional affiliation), data on ways that scholarly blogs are already being integrated into digital research and information infrastructure (DNB entry, ISSN, DOI, citation proposal, platform used), and data on the efforts of scholarly bloggers that make their blogs accessible and reusable (blog archive, blogroll, Creative Commons, RSS/Atom feed, comments).
