The course is in the form of a “journal club”. Meetings will be held
approximately once every month and are open to all persons interested
in
the field of reproduction. Before each meeting one to two selected
papers should be distributed to all interested at least two weeks
before
the meeting. This or these papers should be read in advance of the
meeting. The paper(s) will then be discussed during the two hours
meeting. At each session, one of the participants will act as a
moderator presenting the paper(s) and leading the discussion. All
participants shall do their best to critically read and discuss the
paper(s). The papers shall be dealing with matters within the subject
“Reproduction”.
The maximum number of participants is ten (10) on first come first
serve
basis. Research students and residents from SLU and Uppsala University
are prioritised until the application deadline closes (9th of February
2021).
All meetings are held digitally with Zoom as the platform.
Practical information:
At least three weeks before each session the participant with
moderating
position sends three good articles (that should not have too in depth-
focus but be of interest and readability by all participants even if
they are not in the exactly same field) to the course organizers. The
subject of Reproduction is interpreted in its widest sense. The course
organizers select the most appropriate article (in specific cases it
could be two articles, but this will be exceptions), this selected
article is then distributed to all participants at least two weeks in
advance of the session. The moderating participant selects a senior
researcher with good knowledge in the area to participate in the
meeting
as a support for the discussion (the course organizers can help with
this if needed). All participants in the course is given a task for
each
session: usually to describe and explain a figure or table in the
selected article. As a help for the assessment of the article all
participants fill in a template on critical assessment (“FormJCR”
distributed to all participants at the onset of the course) and bring
to
the session. The moderator is responsible for giving an overview of
the
paper and to lead the discussion. If the group is over 7 persons,
subgroups will be formed where the participants go through their
individual tasks before returning to the whole group for a systematic
review of the article piece by piece (led by the moderator). Finally,
all participants will judge all information brought up and
individually
answer the question if this paper should have been accepted in its
current form or not and why.
