This is interesting in terms of a self documentation exercise, but as an academic I am intensely uncomfortable, after all I should be in there, but apparently I have to put myself in there to be there. That just runs against the rails of peer review, recognition and judgement. I’m all for forms of self publishing (this is a blog after all) but there is also some sort of line that I don’t know about but feel that I find difficult to cross. (This could just be culturally specific too. In most cultures it is not up to yourself to declare the significance - or not- of your contribution.)</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font: normal normal normal 12px/normal Helvetica; min-height: 17px; "><BR></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Will be interested to see where Richard gets to with his project.
