\n

Sometimes, as a break from describing chemistry, I take to describing the (chemical\/scientific) creations behind the (WordPress) blog system. It is fascinating how there do seem increasing signs of convergence between the blog post and the journal article. Perhaps prompted by transclusion of tools such as Jmol and LaTex into Wikis and blogs, I list the following interesting developments in both genres.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Improved equation display for Chemistry Central articles using MathJax<\/a>\u00a0 This is a way of rendering equations in the pages of both a Blog<\/a>\u00a0 and a journal article<\/a>. This blog is now so empowered, although in fact I employ few equations on these pages.<\/li>\n
  2. Citation management and meta-data gathering<\/a>. This blog plugin takes the form of\u00a0a numbered citation[1]<\/a><\/span> as here, and which converts the specified DOI to a listing at the bottom of the post in the manner of a conventional scientific article (conventional document citation managers such as EndNote do this as well). It is actually much more than that, since the plugin\u00a0automatically uses the\u00a0CrossRef API<\/a>\u00a0to retrieve metadata for the quoted Digital Object Identifier (DOI), thus enhancing the metadata associated with the post and its discoverability. Dublin-Core<\/a> is already present in the post as well as FOAF<\/a> output, and I occasionally trawl using the Calais archive tagger<\/a>\u00a0(although this is not very good at finding chemistry tags).<\/li>\n
  3. I installed Chemicalize<\/a> a year or so ago. This scans the blog text for chemical terms, and adds a hover\/popup image of structures it identifies (it is also responsible for the occasional doubled Gravatar image you may see here! Apologies!).<\/li>\n
  4. I noted the addition of ChemDoodle<\/a> to this blog previously. There may be newcomers which I need to track down to this type of non-Java based molecular rendering.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So you can see that building a chemical\/science-savvy blog can be great fun! It is also significant that science\/chemistry publishers are starting to do this. I bring only one example<\/a> to your attention, although this introduces a host of other issues<\/a> that perhaps I should leave for another post.<\/p>\n
