I often get a response from a reader of one of my posts "everybody knows that (bumper sticker phrase)" The reader that makes such a reply considers the short phrase says it all about the concept that I have elaborated about.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
