Journal club
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A journal club is a group of individuals who meet regularly to critically evaluate recent articles
in scientific literature. Journal clubs are usually organized around a defined subject in basic or
applied research. For example, the application of evidence-based medicine to some area of
medical practice can be facilitated by a journal club. Typically, each participant can voice their
view relating to several questions such as the appropriateness of the research design, the statistics
employed, the appropriateness of the controls that were used, etc. There might be an attempt to
synthesize together the results of several papers, even if some of these results might first appear
to contradict each other. Even if the results of the study are seen as valid, there might be a
discussion of how useful the results are and if these results might lead to new research or to new
applications.
Journal clubs are sometimes used in the education of graduate or professional students. These
help make the student become more familiar with the advanced literature in their new field of
study. In addition, these journal clubs help improve the students' skills of understanding and
debating current topics of active interest in their field. This type of journal club may sometimes
be taken for credit. Research laboratories may also organize journal clubs for all researchers in
the lab to help them keep up with the literature produced by others who work in their field.
[edit] History
The earliest references to a journal club is found in a book of memoirs and letters by the late Sir
James Paget, a British surgeon, who describes a group at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London
in the mid-1800s as "a kind of club ... a small room over a baker's shop near the Hospital-gate
where we could sit and read the journals."[1]
Sir William Osler established the first formalized journal club at McGill University in Montreal
in 1875. The original purpose of Osler's journal club was "for the purchase and distribution of
periodicals to which he could ill afford to subscribe."[2]

How To Review a Journal Article
By Carl Hose, eHow Contributor
I want to do this! What's This?
Journals are typically magazines that fall into the academic realm and are of a more serious
nature. The articles in these types of journals cover subject matter related to the field the journal
covers, whether it a medical journal, a writer's journal, a journal aimed at teachers or any of a
number of other possibilities. Many of these journal articles are written subjectively. Reviewing
an article written in a journal requires a writer to have some knowledge in the subject area of the
article as well as the skills to analyze the material objectively. Learn how to write professional,
effective reviews of journal articles.
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
1. 1
Read the journal article and determine what aspects of the article you want to talk about
in your review.
2. 2
Write a brief introduction about the article's author and a broad synopsis of the article's
content. State your position on the subject of the article and then write an overview of
your position.
3. 3
Analyze the text of the article for writing style and clarity of the writer's position. Don't
use your personal position on the subject matter to devalue anything written in the article.
You're writing a review, not an argumentative essay. You stated your position at the
beginning of the article to give readers a center with which to evaluate your review.
4. 4
Conclude your review with an objective summary of the quality of the journal article and
whether you feel the writer effectively conveyed his message about the subject of the
article.
Types of Journal
Scholarly or Academic Journals
• Articles are peer-reviewed before being
published. This means experts in the subject
have reviewed the article for accuracy and
validity of content.
• Articles are written by experts, professional or
scholars .
• Their purpose is to report current research or
review the literature in a field.
• Articles cite sources and include bibliographies.
• Seldom include advertisements.
• Examples: New Zealand Veterinary Journal,
Journal of Early Modern History, Journal of
Business Ethics.
Trade and Industry Journals
• Journals are industry-specific.
• Provide current information on products and
companies.
• Articles are generally written by practitioners or
specialised journalists.
• Some are peer-reviewed.
• Some cite sources and contain bibliographies.
• May include advertisements.
• Examples: Grocer's Review, Management
Today, E.nz Magazine, Computerworld.
Popular Magazines
• Written for a general audience.
• Often have an attractive look with many photos
and advertisements.
• Articles are not peer reviewed.
• Articles rarely cite sources or include
bibliographies.
• Examples: Time, Mana News, Listener.
Newspapers
• Articles cover the most recent current events or
topics.
• Aimed at general audiences.
• Articles usually don't provide in-depth research
and analysis.
• Examples: Dominion Post, The Independent,
Wall Street Journal, New Straits Times.

A medical journal is a scientific journal devoted to the field of medicine. Most medical journals
are peer-reviewed. Medical journals commonly arose as the journal of societies, such as the
precursor to the British Medical Association, and would originally be collections of letters sent
to the society by distant members, with an account of the proceedings of the society's recent
meetings distributed to various members and the library. The increase in medical research since
WWII has seen a rapid increase in the number of articles and medical journals.
Some of the better known medical journals with high impact factors (a measure of journal
prestige) are:
• The New England Journal of Medicine
• The Lancet
• Journal of the American Medical Association
• Annals of Internal Medicine
• Nature Medicine
• British Medical Journal
• Archives of Internal Medicine
• Canadian Medical Association Journal

[edit] Content
Medical journals are mainly read by doctors rather than scientists, but they are "filled with
increasingly complex science" which depends upon complex statistics which doctors may have
difficulty understanding. In response they have turned towards publishing "articles that are more
journalism than science" such as reviews, news, and educational material.[1] However, science is
what attracts major attention and leads institutions to purchase subscriptions.[1]
[edit] Review process
Main article: Peer review
For an article to be accepted for publication in a medical journal it must undergo a review
process. Each journal creates its own process, but they have certain common characteristics in
general. There are various general "levels" of scrutiny, which have some effect on the respect
given to articles published in the journals. Some broad categories might be editorial review, peer
review, and blind peer review. Richard Smith, former editor of the British Medical Journal,
stated in 2006 that studies had found peer review to be ineffective and prone to abuse, but noted
that editors consider it invaluable.[1]
[edit] Editorial review
In this process, articles which meet the minimum requirements for submission (such as including
the necessary descriptions of funding, privacy and publication releases, ethics/institutional
review board approval, statements of original work, signatures of authors, and so on,) are first
looked over by a managing editor or a member of an editorial board. They may be referred back
to the authors for revision and resubmission, rejected, or presented to the editorial board for final
approval.
[edit] Peer review
A more stringent review process includes a full peer review. After first review by a managing
editor or member of an editorial board, an article which has good possibilities will be sent out for
review by two or more researchers in the specific area. If these reviews are positive the article
may be referred back to the authors to address any comments by the reviewers, or (rarely) may
be accepted immediately by the editorial board.
[edit] Blind review
One common review process is the same as the peer review above, except all references to the
authors are removed from the article before review by the researchers. This has been particularly
important in medical research as there is a strong bias against articles produced by non-
physicians, which are more likely to get rejected.[citation needed] This double-blind peer-review
process is used by the Journal of Surgical Radiology.
[edit] Content
Medical journals are a single field of scientific endeavour, but cover a wide range of topics.
Inevitably there is a need for specialization. Generally speaking the journals tend to be
intervention/practice focused. They may be categorized by medical specialization, client age
focus, or practice focus.
A recent development is that some scientific journals have adopted a full video presentation
format, such as the Journal of Visualized Experiments.
[edit] Internet and open access
Main article: Open access (publishing)
Main article: Electronic publishing
By the end of the 20th century, most medical journals were available online, the BMJ notably so,
thus increasing their accessibility. There is a general move from print as primary medium to
electronic publication, an example being the online journals published by BioMed Central.
With the advent of online publication, many medical journals are transforming from traditional
subscription-based and pay-per-view access to open access for some or all of their content. For
example, all the research published by BioMed Central's journals is open access, the Canadian
Medical Association Journal is open access, and Journal of Clinical Investigation has its archive
completely open access. The open access journal PLoS Medicine has established a good
reputation since it launched in 2004.
