As in, "if you follow these best practices, you too can produce high quality research" There is no reason why this post should be focused on blogs in general, asides from generating discussion + clickbait. The key here is actually following the best practice, but do most blogs actually do this? Alternatively: there is a high minimal requirement for research articles, but there is no minimal requirement for blogs.
