APA (American Psychological Association) Writing Standard accepts the scientific validity of blogging: A highly debated issue in the world of research writing

Upon continuing my research task in my work place, I always make sure that all my writing guidelines are based from the standard of APA research writing principles. But to my concrete surprise, blogging is now accepted in APA citations.   

I first heard this information from my twitter feeds few years ago but I tried to neglect it due to the fact that blog articles has no statistical and concrete mathematical solutions that will prove the actual feedback of a given sample.  At present I’m using blog to discuss with my learners about their insights and ideas towards any given subject matter creating notions and inferences based from their readings.  Even though they are basing their conclusive writing through their intuitions, facts from their readings will also prove the validity of their writing.  

 Indeed, blog writers will start to become serious with their writing articles knowing the responsibility of giving the right information will affect the research result and above all will affect the company or any institutions that will use the research as the guideline for business ventures.  On the contrary research writers will feel the “glass-ceiling” between the scientific writing and blogging.  This murky area of writing standardization must be addressed by APA organization to resolve the doubt of research writers. Noting that research writers are always quoting their writing compositions from research journals accredited from any university research department, the sanctity and respect of research writing is always above other writing standards.   

Research writing will change business plans, political and administrative views of a given country, knowing that research is the backbone of administrative decision making to both private and public sector.  Thus, blog writing will be a “plus” for research writing (in my notion) in getting the raw feedback from the writer’s perspective, based from readings and actual experiences.  To be fare with statistical crunching, I think it’s best to allow every blog host company like “blogger” owned by Google, Wordpress and many more to develop a platform that will segregate all the blogs by subject area, topics and statistically give an automated statistical computation allowing the blog researcher to rely its conclusive citation not only from the writing of one blogger but from the different bloggers writing the same topic inside one blog host site. 

I strongly believe that in the future blogging is a vital part in research writing, with the enormous KMS given by cloud computing, blogging is a natural and fundamental aspect in getting the torrents of world views in different aspects and faculties.  With the acceptance of APA organization towards blogging, that goes to show that the future of KMS in blogging will dominate the future of information data system and technology.  I hope that my present learners will feel the importance of blogging and the responsibility of a more ethical blog writer giving only the true and honest information across the Internet.  Moreover, I’m looking forward for APA organization to give more detailed citation rules in using blog articles for research resources in the next ^8th edition.  The blog citation information is written in APA (American Psychological Association) manual 7^th edition page 215 Chapter 7.11 sub-chapter 76 ISBN 978-1-4338-0561-5.
