[the making of, pt. 6] Are you experienced?
This is the sixth in a series of posts about the piece of research I am doing on Digg. You can read it from the beginning if you are interested. In the last section I showed a correlation between how much of a response people got from their comments and their propensity to contribute future [...]

[the making of, pt. 1] Of sausages and research papers
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while. When I get questions from students and colleagues, it is rarely relating to things I’ve found, but how I found them. How did you get that data and make sense of it? I do a poor job of explaining this, and many are unhappy when there [...]
