A mailing list (BIOMECHANICS-JC-UI@LIST.UIOWA.EDU) has been established for this journal club, so that anyone interested by the subject matter can carry on discussion and send out announcements between meetings.
A listserv is a common kind of maillist, a (usually automated) system that allows people to send e-mail to one address, whereupon their message is copied and sent to all of the other subscribers to the maillist. In this way, people who have many different kinds of e-mail access can participate in discussions together1.
To subscribe to the class listserv, send a message with the following content to the e-mail address

The Biomechanics Journal Club will meet every tuesday from 11:15 to 12:15 in a conference room by the Melrose cafeteria. These rooms are on the 5th floor of Pomerantz Family Pavillon - take elevator 'K' [just past Braley auditorium], make a left out of the elevator and conference room is on the right.
The format of the journal will consist in a directed discussion of the paper reviewed.

The Biomechanics Journal Club will meet every tuesday from 16:00 to 17:00 in room FH418. Note: The meeting time has changed to wednesdays from 11:30 to 12:20.
The format of the journal will consist of a brief introduction (15 min) to the paper reviewed. This introduction will be done by a member of the journal club. The items included in the introduction are:
1. Rationale: Review the background and purpose of the study.
2. Research Design: Review the hypotheses and experimental design concentrating on the independent and dependent variables.
3. Results: Review the main findings of the paper.
4. As a group, we will then discuss the following points: quality of the papers (are there flagrant errors), the interpretation of the results (is the interpretation justified), the novelty of the results, the significance of the study and results.
5. There are many ways to read and review a paper. This is a tool that can help you focus your reading. How to review a paper
