With digital technology increasing the pace at which knowledge is disseminated, how do we in the academic community review and credential our scholarship.  I will spend time discussing the history of peer review and how it has evolved within the academic community to credential scholarship. The discussion will then turn to how to credential on-line scholarship in various new formats to fulfill our academic requirements for promotion within the academy.
