Abstract:
Journal clubs have been a staple in scientific communities, facilitating discussions on recent publications. However, the overwhelming volume of biomedical information poses a challenge in literature selection. This article provides an overview of journal club types and their efficacy in training potential peer reviewers, enhancing communication skills, and critical thinking. Originating in the 19th century, journal clubs have evolved from traditional in-person meetings to virtual or hybrid formats, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Face-to-face interactions offer personal connections, while virtual events ensure wider participation and accessibility. Organizing journal clubs demands effort, but it has several benefits, including promoting new publications and providing a platform for meaningful discussions. The virtual CardioRNA J-club experience exemplifies successful multidisciplinary collaboration, fostering international connections and inspiring new research. Journal clubs remain a vital component of academic research, equipping senior researchers with the latest developments and nurturing the next generation of scientists. As millennial and Gen Z researchers join the scientific field, journal clubs continue to evolve as a fertile ground for education and collaborative learning in an ever-changing scientific landscape.
摘要:
期刊俱乐部一直是科学界的主食,促进对最近出版物的讨论。然而,大量的生物医学信息对文献选择提出了挑战。本文概述了期刊俱乐部的类型及其在培训潜在同行审稿人方面的功效,提高沟通技巧,和批判性思维。起源于19世纪,期刊俱乐部已经从传统的面对面会议发展到虚拟或混合形式,COVID-19大流行加速了。面对面的互动提供了个人联系,而虚拟活动确保更广泛的参与和可访问性。组织期刊俱乐部需要努力,但它有几个好处,包括推广新出版物和为有意义的讨论提供平台。虚拟CardioRNAJ-club经验体现了成功的多学科合作,促进国际联系和鼓舞人心的新研究。期刊俱乐部仍然是学术研究的重要组成部分,为高级研究人员提供最新发展,培养下一代科学家。随着千禧一代和Z世代的研究人员加入科学领域,期刊俱乐部继续发展成为不断变化的科学环境中教育和协作学习的沃土。
