The Rogue Scholar science blog archive launched in April and I have been busy building out the core features of archiving the full-text of blog posts, establishing a full-text search, and registering DOIs and metadata for all posts. My announced goal was to complete this work by the end of the second quarter.

In January I started the Rogue Scholar blog archive with the slogan "science blogging on steroids", promising to enhance science blogs in important ways. Earlier this month I began DOI registrations for blog posts, and I am well on track to complete this for the included 35 blogs with more than 1,000 blog posts in the next few weeks.

Two weeks ago I started registering DOIs for blog posts included in the Rogue Scholar blog archive. It is an automated process but involves a lot of manual checks. So far I have registered 231 blog posts from 20 different science blogs, and I hope to finish the DOI registrations by the end of the month.

I am a big fan of dog food, and I wrote about this topic already seven years ago: One of the major projects I am working on right now is the Rogue Scholar science blog archive that launched at the beginning of the month. As part of this work – but also because I am very interested in this – I read a lot of science blogs.

While the launch of the Rogue Scholar blog archive is still a few months away (happening in the second quarter of this year), I want to give an update on the ongoing work. The Rogue Scholar blog archive will improve science blogs in important ways, including full-text search, DOIs and metadata, and long-term archiving. The central piece of the underlying infrastructure is the InvenioRDM open source repository software.
