Reasons to Join
Event-Driven Research
The events will be closely designed based on research and in return lead to more research using both public and private fundings it receives.
Global Co-Creation
These OJC events will initiate global co-creation activities based on internet-based academic reading events among educational researchers and students.
OJC Event Style: Classic
The host can choose one of the two event styles to develop their OJC event. If not specially required, the "OJC Event Style: Classic" is set as the default style of 100 OJC Events. It combines researchers (hosts)' experience sharing, and attendants' invidividual and social reading components in one place.
See example event
OJC Event Style: Minimum
The host can choose one of the two event styles to develop their OJC event. The "minimum" style, as its name suggests, only contains the minimum components to start an OJC: an empty folder to upload the article and an online video conferencing room for meetings.

The 100 OJC Events between 2023 and 2024 are only open to global educational researchers as hosts. Other than that, both research students and educational researchers in the domain of education science can host online journal club events on ResearchIC.
100 Online Journal Club Events are abbreviated as “100 OJC Events” on ResearchIC. It is the primary initiative of a three-year R&D project involving the use of online journal club events to train research literacy in the education domain. The project's PI is Dr.Jingjing Lin, an assistant professor at Toyohashi University of Technology (Japan).
100 OJC Events intend to invite and collaborate with 100 educational researchers from around the world, to co-create and deliver online journal club events. These OJC events are primarily designed for postgraduate research students. The purpose is to investigate whether using OJC events could improve educational research literacy levels of higher degree research students.
