Promoting Self-Determination Through Science Worldwide
Our Journal Club
The Danube Private University Journal Club of Science (JCoS) is the result of an initiative by students at Danube Private University (DPU) who, after becoming members of the International Collegiate Journal of Science (https://icjs.us), wanted to establish extracurricular opportunities for scientific development locally at DPU.
The current offer for members includes Skills Labs, in which they can learn the basics of scientific work and writing as well as how to apply for funding, Progress Labs, in which experienced scientists present their specialist areas and current research questions, and Work Labs, in which students write scientific articles that can be published on the website following the association's internal peer review process.
Another aim is to gain insights into educational, scientific and health structures through non-profit projects and to find creative solutions to improve conditions.

Skills Lab
Workshops on scientific work and writing
In "Skills labs", students are taught the scientific tools for writing scientific articles by experienced scientists. The workshops are designed to be interactive wherever possible and include topics such as scientific research, literature management, citation, statistics, the publishing process and scientific presentation.
Progress Lab
Inspiring lectures on current research issues
In "Progress Labs", students are not only brought up to date on the latest scientific developments in their subject area through scientific presentations by researchers, but are also inspired to write. In the process, controversial research questions are presented and discussed.
Work Lab
Writing and presenting individual and group scientific articles
In "Work Labs", students are given space to link ideas with each other and to write articles alone or in groups. These go through the association's internal peer review process and are published on this website.
