BPR3 has published the official icons. If you are a blogger, these allow you to identify which of your posts are about peer-reviewed articles. If you are a reader, these let you know that the blogger has read the original publication and isn’t just spewing pre-processed information from the mainstream media.

For more information, check out the announcement.

Currently, the only aggregation of these posts are by hand or using a crude Technorati search. Fret not though, we are rolling out the aggregation soon! As soon as I can finish it, that is. I’ve been making good progress and have a rough working prototype finished. Once we polish off a few more features we plan to roll it out to some beta-testers, then distribute for mass consumption.

Keep an eye out here or at BPR3 for more details as they come.
