Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the development of a voluntary nutrition journal club to introduce undergraduate students to key concepts regarding critical reading of research articles in the nutrition profession. A nutrition faculty member and a librarian collaborated to establish and teach a journal club at the University of Akron. Twenty-three students attended the five sessions scheduled during the fall semesters from 2016 to 2018. Activities involved identifying common elements of primary research articles and evaluating articles using a modified guideline. Student assessments were positive. Limitations of reviewing articles, and overviews of the Institutional Review Board process and evidence-based practice are discussed.
