Do journals provide sufficient contextualization for research?

For technical reasons, publishing was historically a separate step, performed about once per iteration of the research cycle

Publishing every relevant bit of information immediately at each step is technically feasible now, and the remaining hurdles are cultural ones.

Wikis allow for systematic linking and thus enhanced contextualization (sidenote: some have argued that links are distracting)

Mentions MediaWiki plugin for Wordpress

Etherpad

Google Docs
