How to Review a Journal Publication

 

Each week a presenter (that means you, grad students!) will offer a key reference paper cited in their thesis/dissertation/paper introduction. During the session, we will spend the first 20-25 min reviewing the paper on scientific merits; whilst the second half we deconstruct the paper to learn how the paper was put together to make it (presumably) successful in delivering its message. The outcome is that we all learn how to better review and construct a scientific paper....and have quite a bit of fun along the way.
