Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to examine the use of blogs as tools in scholarly communication practice. The article
is based on a case study of the Swedish academic blogosphere. It starts with an overview of earlier research about
blogs which is followed by a presentation of earlier research on scholarly communication practice. Disciplinary
differences regarding the use of ICTs are considered specifically. Sixty-seven Swedish academic blogs are investigated
using content analysis, supplemented by a webometric study of the same material. The results indicate agreement across
disciplines regarding the use of blogs as tools. One conclusion is that blogs do not replace a previous form of
communication, but function as distinct interfaces between four arenas: the university, the research field, the
general public, and private life.
