This small group collaborates, usually over email, to identify suitable journal papers and their author(s) to present in short webinars that are held about three times a year. The chair, Yi Yu, works with members Richard Samworth and Ruth King to create an engaging annual programme to showcase excellent journal papers. We are actively looking for one or two new members to contribute to the programme for a small time commitment of one or two days spread over the year.
The role will allow you to contribute to an important, evolving area of the Society’s activities without demanding too great a time commitment. Free access to the RSS journals is provided to members who can elect to lead on one webinar per year, often because they have a particular interest in a paper or field. The administrative and technical work to support the group is all done at Errol Street. If you are interested in joining us and would like further information, please email journal@rss.org.uk
Suggest a paper!
Why not nominate a journal paper you think we should cover in a forthcoming webinar? It can be on any subject and from Series A, B or C. The paper should be relatively recent, published in the last ten years or so but should not be a ‘read’ or ‘discussion’ paper. Make your suggestion by emailing journal@rss.org.uk
Journal webinars
These short webinars are free and open to everyone. They offer participants from anywhere in the world the opportunity to freely discuss, question and comment on key journal papers in a welcoming and receptive environment.
Here are some comments we have received from participants:
- Excellent, very useful presentations and discussion, please do more.
- Very nice webinar, enjoyed it! And no technical glitches, good sound and visuals. I like that I could have the meeting phone me, so I don't have to pay for the call. Thanks!
- I think this is a really good thing for the RSS to do as can bring interesting seminars from around the world. Would like to see more of them.
- Nice examples and good references to papers and developments in the past. Very useful session
- Thought provoking modelling and results. This was a very interesting talk.
The webinars are available to watch afterwards on our
Journal webinars page where you will also find full details.
