The methodology blending the principles of PBL and TBL is detailed and key issues of this implementation are discussed. Twenty-one students were enrolled in a research master degree and participated to three mandatory 180-minutes sessions. Beyond classical skills useful to solve a problem, this new intervention focused on the transformation of knowledge to create an authentic content, which is a feature of the project-based learning(PBL). The training process was designed according to team-based learning(TBL) procedure except that work sharing between groups and pooling resources and outcomes of each group allowed the construction of one final class original research project in the field of respiratory pharmacology. The combination of both learning methods allowed promoting individual and group accountability necessary to improve self-learning and the quality of the final joint project. The peer reviewing was an essential factor in creating the students' motivation and improving of team discussion. The grades individually assigned for skills and quality of the project by an external teacher suggested that key objectives of the intervention were reached. In conclusion, the educational intervention described in this paper appears as an appropriate method to develop specific skills necessary to write and discuss a research project within a research team.Further works are necessary to measure the degree of satisfaction of students and improvement of performance.展开更多

Congratulations to the publisher, members of the edi-torial board of the journal, all the authors and readers for launching the World Journal of Methodology （WJM） as a new member of the World series journal family!...Congratulations to the publisher, members of the edi-torial board of the journal, all the authors and readers for launching the World Journal of Methodology （WJM） as a new member of the World series journal family! Scientifc advances and important breakthroughs have been facilitated by well developed methodologies or techniques and any misleading findings and theories are exclusively attributable to certain methodological defects. Thus, the role of appropriate methodologies in the development of science and technology can-not be overemphasized and the need for inaugurating this new journal is self-evident. The WJM is a peer-reviewed open-access periodical centered in biomedi-cal sciences but with multidisciplinary coverage. If you want to share any new methodologies, any experienc-es of the application or improvement of such method-ologies and any methodology-related academic issues with your peers, you will fnd the WJM a good media to publish your papers!展开更多

The pace of discovery in the field of hematology has accelerated signeificantly in recent years, due to important scientific discoveries and new technologies for purification of hematopoietic stem cells and identification of specific stem cell biomarkers; whole genome sequencing using next-generation sequencing technology; and development of molecularly-targeted therapies, leading to the translation of highly promising science into advanced diagnosis and proven targeted therapies for hematopoietic disorders. The WJH is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal, which is officially published on June 6, 2012. The WJH Editorial Board consists of 102 experts in hematology from 26 countries. There is clearly a niche for this new journal, which provides access to all articles without boundaries to all internet users throughout the world. The WJH aims to provide rapid access to high impact publications in fundamental and clinical hematology, with multidisciplinary coverage, through an established system that is targeted at dissemination to the scientific community via online openaccess.展开更多

The WJCCM Editorial Board has now been established and consists of 105 distinguished experts from 27 countries. Our purpose of launching the WJCCM is to publish peer-reviewed, high-quality articles via an open-access online publishing model, thereby acting as a platform for communication between peers and the wider public, and maximizing the benefits to editorial board members, authors and readers.展开更多
