Journals with Associated/Companion Blog(s)/Wiki(s)?

**Apologies for Receipt of Duplicate Postings** 

Colleagues/

I recently learned that The American Journal of Bioethics ( http://www.bioethics.net/journal/ ) has a companion Editors Blog titled blog.bioethics.net ( http://blog.bioethics.net/ ). An article about this journal blog is discussed in the December 1, 2005 issue of _Nature_ in a great piece by Declan Butler on blogs (and wikis) titled "Science in the web age: Joint efforts" (_Nature_ 438, 548-549 (1 December 2005) | doi:10.1038/438548a).  The blog.bioethics.net itself includes text from the article:

"Blogs associated with traditional journals may help bridge the gap between the literature and blogs, says Glenn McGee, editor-in-chief of The American Journal of Bioethics. The leading journal in its field, it was the first to create a companion blog, Blog.Bioethics.Net. The bioethics blog allows the journal to respond faster and in different ways to public controversies, says McGee. The blog has high impact, he adds, often influencing reporting on ethical issues by the mainstream media." [MORE]

I am Great Interested in Learning of Any and All Other Journals that have (or are considering) a companion blog (or Wiki?).
