Scientific Wiki Solves The 'Who Wrote What' Problem

Joy Davidson | 01 September 2008

Gerry McKiernan has an interesting entry in his Scholarship 2.0 blog and is looking for your thoughts or reactions: "Reporting in [the September 2008 issue of] Nature Genetics, scientist Robert Hoffmann develops the first Wiki where authorship really matters. Based on a powerful authorship tracking technology, this next generation wiki links every word to its corresponding author. This way readers can always know their sources and authors receive due credit."
