Blog Citation

I was part of an APA panel session on blogging last week (I mean to post more about the APA, but I haven't finished writing that post yet - Kenny's there already though) and one of the questions concerned whether anyone ever cited content from blogs in (proper) published work. We hummed and hawed and mentioned a few things we'd cited, but I've just come across one of Jason Stanley's footnotes from page 6 of Knowledge and Practical Interests in which the blog of one of our APA panel members gets a mention:

"Jon Kvanvig (on the blog Certain Doubts) suggested this as an account of these sorts of cases."

Actually, I pointed that one out on this blog a while ago since I thought it was an interesting issue:

That's ok, just send me any royalties you make from the post, and we'll call it quits......

Not quite a blog, but the following refereed journal paper by logician Dov Gabbay and philosopher John Woods cites and analyses a discussion on an email discussion list, the Argumentation Theory list, ARGTHRY, September 2000.

@ARTICLE{gabbay:woods:igpl01,
author = "D. M. Gabbay and J. Woods",
title = "More on non-cooperation in Dialogue Logic",
journal = "Logic Journal of the IGPL",
year = "2001",
volume = "9",
number = "2",
pages = "321--339"}

I've elsewhere suggested ( perhaps more out of hope than actual belief) that the rise of blogs will act as a counter-force to over specialization and professionalization among academics. Maybe this is a good sign.
