Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Blogging has become an increasingly common and popular way of disseminating information. However, academia has been slow to embrace blogging as a publication option, likely because blogging does not rely on the traditional process of peer review that other forms of academic scholarship require. This chapter discusses the rise of blogging as popular scholarship, highlighting blogs that have been successful at gaining a wide audience. It interrogates what constitutes scholarship, considering arguments both for and against considering blogs as scholarly writing. The chapter also discusses the potential advantages and disadvantages of blogging, suggests processes for evaluating blogs as scholarship in the hiring and reappointment, promotion, and tenure (RPT) process, and proposes how academia in general and the Society for Music Theory (SMT) in particular can provide support for blogging as an effective means of outreach and of making music theory research accessible to other scholars and the general public.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
