HighBeam Research Names Top 10 Blogs in Five Research Categories

CHICAGO, Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In their Backstories blog this week, HighBeam Research, part of Cengage Learning, announced their top 10 blogs in five research categories: medical, legal, education, technology and current events. Backstories is the go-to resource guide featuring in-depth information for writers, academics and anyone seeking the history and trends behind breaking news.

"There are so many outstanding research blogs that our staff had quite a challenge and a lot of fun coming up with these lists of our favorites," says Matt McCloskey, Marketing Director of HighBeam Research. "In the end, we chose blogs that have a fresh perspective on their topic and offer deep insight and analysis. The list varies from very well-known blogs that are already go-to guides in their field and some that we feel have the potential for growth."

The lists of the top 10 blogs in each category can be found in Backstories at the following posts:

• Medical research blogs
• Legal research blogs
• Education research blogs
• Technology blogs
• Current events blogs

As mentioned in Backstories' education research blog post, "When looking for understanding and information, most people turn first to the Internet, and in return, people with information are sharing it via online sites and blogs." Sharing these top blogs offers the perfect opportunity to build on HighBeam Research's primary objective.

"Our mission at HighBeam Research is to offer the most up-to-date resources for anyone doing research," continued McCloskey. "Our hope is that our community will find commentary on our favorite blogs useful as an extension of this mission."
