Teaching graduate research skills in genomics via an integrated 'flipped' journal club program.

ABSTRACT: Journal clubs are well regarded as a highly effective means of engaging graduate students with the contemporary research literature, where individual students prepare and deliver presentations on selected research articles to their peers, followed by a group discussion. Regular journal clubs have the advantage of enhancing student scientific reading, assessment and communication skills as well as developing a better understanding of the field. We developed a flipped journal club program as part of the one semester module 'Genomics Research Methods' with the goal of enhancing-and quantifying-individual student ability to engage with the genomics scientific literature. This involves all students and faculty reviewing a given manuscript, with the former submitting research relevant questions
