The verdict: is blogging or tweeting about research papers worth it? Eager to find out what impact blogging and social media could have on the dissemination of her work, Melissa Terras took all of her academic research, including papers that have been available online for years, to the web and found that her audience responded with a huge leap in interest in her work. In October 2011 I began a project to make all of my 26 articles published in refereed journals available via UCL’s Open Access Repository – “Discovery“. I decided that as well as putting them in the institutional repository, I would write a blog post about each research project, and tweet the papers for download.

From Brueghel to Warhol: AI enters the attribution fray When art thieves broke into a church in northwestern Italy this March, they thought they were stealing a seventeenth-century work by the Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel the Younger. In fact, police in the small Ligurian town of Castelnuovo Magra had been tipped off, and swapped The Crucifixion, valued at €3 million (US$3.3 million), for a cheap copy. In fairness to the gang, a number of Brueghel’s works do look nearly interchangeable. A similar Crucifixion attributed to the same artist hangs in the Philadelphia Museum of Art in Pennsylvania. And Brueghel probably copied both paintings from another by his trailblazing father, Pieter Bruegel the Elder — whose work also heavily influenced his other son, Jan (known as Jan Brueghel the Elder).
