A blog (a portmanteau of web log) is a website where entries are written in chronological order and commonly displayed in reverse chronological order.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic.

The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.

We especially recommend blogs for postgraduate students and academia representatives as they are an efficient way to disseminate research findings, share ideas with like-minded people and receive feedback, network, and increase awareness about a research topic.
