The "research findings" pages are definitely relevant and seem to be mostly on individual articles.

We would need to figure out the best way to give credit -- and it would be nice let them know, and possibly to push some of our "requested" stuff in their area of interest to them as requests.

They seem to use class="resource_link" for DOI links, so that could help pulling materials in, or there might be a way to get them in bulk. Thanks for spotting this, Greg!

Came across this today:

Basically, since journalists and scientists think each other are at fault
for the crappy reporting on science in popular media, they agreed to
create this website where people write plain language summaries of
research. It isn't clear from the article who writes the summaries,
though each one seems to be signed by a single author.

According to the about page, all of the content is available under a
CC:BY license:
http://journalistsresource.org/about/

(They incorrectly stated that the content is "considered to be public
domain," unfortunately)

One other cool thing I noticed is that they are linking to the full text
of the articles in at least all of the summaries I looked at.

Thoughts? Should we ingest this material into Acawiki?

Greg
