In recent months I haven't caught up with the submissions and decided to implement a few changes.\n\nParticipating in Rogue Scholar doesn't cost anything to authors or readers. In turn, participating science blogs must make their content available as full-text via an RSS (or Atom or JSON) Feed with a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license.\n\nStarting today, blog authors have to agree to these two additional statements in the blog submission form:\n\n  * The blog has published at least six posts over at least six months.\n  * All content is authored and signed off by human scholars.\n\n\n\nAlso starting today, all blog submissions (author name and blog URL) are posted in the Rogue Scholar Slack Community (in the new public **#blog-submissions** channel) for two weeks. This allows the Rogue Scholar community to ask questions and blog authors to give more information about their blog.\n\nRogue Scholar is a free resource for authors and readers, but it costs money to maintain the infrastructure and support the community. For this reason, not all blog submissions can be accepted, or it takes longer until new blogs are included. Please reach out if your submission is delayed or you have questions.\n\nWith currently 191 participating science blogs and 49,965 blog posts, Rogue Scholar is on track to archive 50,000 blog posts in May, and I look forward to many more participating science blogs. Please reach out with questions or comments via Slack, email, Mastodon, or Bluesky.\n\nRogue Scholar is a scholarly infrastructure that is free for all authors and readers. You can support Rogue Scholar with a one-time or recurring donation or by becoming a sponsor.",
