Over at Crooked Timber, a discussion of the status of blog posts as academic publishing has just opened.
Not that I think blogging is likely to be counted for RAE credit any time soon.

What does RAE stand for?
Ah, such blissful ignorance. Research Assessment Excercise. Separation of sheep from goats this side of the pond. To those that have, more is given.
Only counts full-time staff, which is a ******* disaster for equal opportunities. For more, see:

Research Assessment Exercise. (I just realised I forgot to follow up my cryptic little post of a week or so ago with a rant about this stupid bureaucratic pile of (censored) (bleeping) shite.) Here is the official line for RAE 2008, anyway: an exercise “conducted nationally to assess the quality of UK research and to inform the selective distribution of public funds for research by the four UK higher education funding bodies”. http://www.rae.ac.uk/default.htm
Chris, you just beat me to it there!
