There is this Twitter journal club... http://blogs.bmj.com/bmj-journals-development-blog/2011/07/15/twitter-journa l-club-yet-another-revolution-in-scientific-communication/ Richard Saitz MD, MPH, FACP, FASAM Editor, Evidence-Based Medicine Professor of Medicine & Epidemiology Boston University Schools of Medicine & Public Health Boston Medical Center 801 Massachusetts Avenue, 2nd Floor Boston, MA 02118 617 414 7744 (direct) 617 414 4676 (fax) ebm.bmj.com -----Original Message----- From: Evidence based health (EBH) [mailto:[log in to unmask] UK] On Behalf Of Craig Lockwood Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2012 7:25 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Jazzing up journal club- what do you do? Can a journal club be held entirely online? Yes it can. We host a web based program that allows users to create a journal club, give it a name, search for papers via pubmed, upload the citation, or a link, or (permissions pending) the full paper. The system then walks users through developing a structured critique of the internal validity of the paper (all health science research methods are covered), they then extract data using a series of templates. The end result is an online 'report' that can be viewed online by the rest of the club, printed or emailed, and is attached to an online discussion forum that all members of the club can participate in. Informal evaluation has been promising, but its not a free resource. However, it does also include suggestions and guidance for how to run a journal club, and a comprehensive online user guide. iPad app is definately on the list of things to do with this program. http://www.nursingcenter.com/evidencebasedpracticenetwork/JBIWelcomePage.asp x kind regards Craig ________________________________________ From: Evidence based health (EBH) [[log in to unmask]] on behalf of Richard Pullicino [[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, 4 October 2012 2:26 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: Jazzing up journal club- what do you do? You mentioned edmondo to facilitate your journal club - what exercises can be held online to make the journal club more interesting? Can a journal club be done solely online ? What are your opinions?
