At AoB Blog we encourage scientists to blog because we think it’s a good idea for scientists to tell people about their research, including other scientists. Some measures like Altmetric and Impact Story think this is a good thing too, but not everyone does.

Let’s hope this doesn’t dissuade new journal Nature Plants from posting to their new blog.
