While we're on the topic of academic papers and how they're linked, Johan Bollen et. al used clickstream data to draw detailed maps of science , from the point of view of those actually reading the papers. That is, instead of relying on citations, they used log data on how readers request papers, in the form of a billion user interactions on various web portals. Maps of science derived from citation data visualize the relationships among scholarly publications or disciplines.
In addition to last week's Art Evolved Aggregate feed , I've made a Science-Artists feed , collecting scientific illustration, science-inspired art and science cartooning on blogs. After a discussion with Bora Zivkovi c via Twitter, we both agreed something larger than paleo-art (though that's included) would be great to have.
