Journal Presentation

Choose one recent paper representing the topic area chosen for presentation. A sign-up sheet will be made available in discussion section. Make a copy of the abstract and any essential tables, graphs, etc. The abstract is often all that is needed for understanding. Be sure to include the journal's name, volume number, and pages. Write your name at the top of the handout. Limit the handout to one page. Ten to fifteen copies are needed for class, depending on section size. [If you have problems getting copies, see me.]

Plan an 8-10 minute presentation plus a little time for questions. This is an approximate time frame, as some papers will generate more discussion than others. The upper limit will be 15 minutes per person. A time keeper will keep things on schedule.

The following is a list of books and journals available in the library which have papers of virological interest. You may find something of interest elsewhere; this list is intended as an introductory guide to literature in virology. Stick to current (the last 2-3 years) original research literature for your presentation. [See also Literature Databases.]

Annual books reviewing latest topics:

Advances in Virus Research [QR 360 in stacks, check Snoopy for ARS retrieval]

Journals:

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications
British Medical Journal

In addition to journals available in the information center [library], you may also access some others on-line. To check availability, use the library's web page and look under "journals on-line". You may also check for a specific journal's availability at nearby libraries as well. For a quick start, browse some of these links.
