Introduction

A Journals Club can be a great way of practicing how to evaluate and critically analyse journal articles, research or experiments in a friendly, non-pressured environment. They can help in developing important research skills in time for your dissertation.

This section will introduce you to what a Journals Club is and the benefits of setting one up with your peers or attending one.

Although the following section is aimed at delivering or attending a Journals Club face-to-face you could also run or engage in one remotely. Why not consider using WhatsApp, X, Zoom or Facebook to run a Journals Club?
