Journal Club Archives

Journal Clubs are a popular feature on PLoS ONE articles. A group of scientists volunteers to discuss one of the more recent or upcoming PLoS ONE articles and to post their discussion as a series of comments, annotations, and ratings on the article itself, triggering a discussion within a broader scientific community.
