What is NephJC?
NephJC is a nephrology journal club that uses Twitter to discuss the research, guidelines, and editorials that are driving nephrology. The NephJC chats occur twice a month, on a Tuesday at 9PM Eastern Time for the American participants, and then again the day after on a Wednesday 8PM GMT/BST for the European/African/West Coast individuals. About a week before the twitter discussion they post background information regarding the article and invite comments and questions to be discussed during the live chat. The live chat is an hour long discussion on Twitter. A summary of the conversation is posted on the website and also on PubMed Commons, linking to the transcript and summary blog post, so that readers who chance upon the abstract on PubMed will be able to benefit from the NephJC efforts.
How to Participate?
Read the article and tweet away — making sure you use the #NephJC hashtag. No need to limit yourself to the hour of live tweeting, we will be looking at all of the tagged tweets. Questions, comments, perspective, everything is fair game. More detailed instructions can be found here.
