ACI Scholarly Blog Index

ACI Scholarly Blog Index is a blog discovery tool covering scholarly blogs in the fields of sciences, social sciences, and humanities. As of January 2017 the index includes 10,000 blogs and one million posts. ACI screens blogs for inclusion based on content and authorial expertise, and it stands as one of the few scholarly blog discovery tools on the market. The resource sports an interface that is easy both to search and navigate, though there is room for improvement in providing ways to browse content. The index also includes author profiles, which provide information about an author and opportunities for interaction via social media. Recent academic literature has highlighted the utility and value of scholarly blogs, and ACI Scholarly Blog Index is well-suited for institutions interested in facilitating discovery to these resources.
