3. An online forum makes a
better journal club
• No restriction by time or location
• Hyperlinking to related resources
• Paper authors can participate in discussion
• Papers and discussions are archived

4. What could be done in
the future?

bookmarking tools
• Measurement of interestingness:
access and comment counts, digg-style
voting
• Annotation of fulltext articles
