We run a journal club where we come together as a group and discuss papers of interest. This club is particularly useful for early career researchers but will be of interest to everyone. The club is informal and participation is strongly encouraged.

<LOCATION>.We discuss
<NUMBER>of papers each meeting and these are selected by whoever is leading the meeting.Papers are sent to the whole Group
<NUMBER>of days before the meeting and everyone is expected to have read them before the meeting.We take turns leading the club.
Basic rules for the meeting:
Listen to other people. Do not talk over people.
Do not be afraid to voice your opinion. This is supposed to be an informal meeting.
Read the papers in advance.
If you are leading the session think of some areas for discussion in advance and keep the conversation flowing.
Before your first journal club meeting please look at the guidance from the Data Ethics Club repository. We run our club in a similar way with similar expectations.
A list of the past papers we have discussed can be found <LOCATION OR URL>.
