Twitter Journal Club May 3rd, 2013 What? A journal club with postings limited to 140 characters? Concise & succinct…or…. impossible? You be the judge! The journal Evidence-Based Nursing (UB access here) offers such a thing with its EBN Twitter Journal Club Here’s what they say: “Evidence-Based Nursing is helping nurses use evidence in practice. Part of this strategy is the EBN Twitter Journal Club. The club runs like other journal discussion groups, except that the article and questions are posted on this blog and the discussion about the article happens on Twitter! The #ebnjc offers a great opportunity for nurses to discuss research articles related to practice. A new article, with a specific practice focus and accompanying discussion questions, is posted regularly. Specific dates are posted for discussion to occur on Twitter at #ebnjc. Discussions are asynchronous and run from Thursday to Monday. This allows for people across the world, in a variety of time zones, to participate. Twitter discussions are archived so that you will be able to review them at any time.”
“Research Made Simple” short articles May 1st, 2013 The Evidence-Based Nursing journal offers several succinct articles on several key research concepts in their Research Made Simple series. Find there:
