Preprint Club
A cross-institutional Journal Club Initiative
Our Mission
Harnessing cross-institutional journal clubs to assess and review preprints
Our Objectives
-
Repurpose institutional journal clubs to take part in evaluating up-and-coming research on different research fields and preprint servers.
-
Training ground for research trainees to learn how to critically assess scientific literature.
-
Improve the scientific legitimacy and reduce the inherent bias of a system constraint around a single institution and promote open science.
Our Organisation
-
Our group meets online once every week to present 2 recent preprints.
-
We evaluate each preprints using metrics such as Novelty of the study, Significance of the results or Thoroughness of the scientific demonstration.
-
We write and post reviews of the preprints using a standardized format.
-
We highlight what we consider the most promising preprints in collaboration with Nature Reviews Immunology
