There are several possible formats for these meetings:
- Review a few papers published by one particular group in the last 1-2 years (or longer if needed). The idea is get a complete immersion in a particular group's reserch mentality.
- Present a few recently published articles on a specific research topics
- Review an actual submission in our area to ACP and prepare a comment
Before the meeting, the presenter should send links to the articles your are going to present to the group. Here is an example of a link using DOI pointers (the preferred format for the links):
