2. Mechanisms of academic knowledge distribution using the internet

2.3. Web review services

A number of services have sprung up to provide judgement upon web-sites. Examples include Magellen which provides a rating service and Encyclopedia Brittanica which simply reviews and selects what it considers to be quality web-sites. Subscribers who use these can be assured of a certain type and level of quality when they choose among the selected sites. However, their generic nature means that they will not be able to cover individual academic papers in sufficent depth to be useful to academics.
