To describe the importance of scientifically rigorous journal clubs in psychiatric education, and to provide a framework to effectively run journal clubs and appraise articles in a journal club format. This paper explores the concept of journal clubs and describes issues with the current state of academic science. It then lists factors associated with effectiveness of journal clubs and outlines a structure for appraising articles relevant to psychiatric practice in a journal club format.
Current models of academic research and publishing, which can reward practices vulnerable to multiple forms of bias, make the consistent and valued use of journal clubs in psychiatric education and continuing professional development more important than ever. The literature shows that journal clubs can provide a valuable forum for mental health clinicians to update themselves on recent medical and scientific knowledge, while practicing and teaching skills in critical appraisal of research, statistics, clinical decision-making and epidemiology.
描述在精神科教育中进行科学严谨的期刊俱乐部的重要性，并提供一个框架，以便以期刊俱乐部的形式有效地开展期刊俱乐部和评估文章。本文探讨了期刊俱乐部的概念，并描述了当前学术科学状况存在的问题。然后列出了与期刊俱乐部有效性相关的因素，并概述了以期刊俱乐部的形式评估与精神科实践相关的文章的结构。
目前的学术研究和出版模式可能会奖励那些容易受到多种形式偏见影响的做法，因此，在精神科教育和继续教育中，比以往任何时候都更需要持续、有价值地使用期刊俱乐部。文献表明，期刊俱乐部可以为精神科临床医生提供一个有价值的论坛，让他们了解最新的医学和科学知识，同时在批判性评价研究、统计学、临床决策和流行病学方面练习和教授技能。
