Open Discussion of Journal Articles

Journaltalk is the brainchild of George Mason University economist Daniel Klein, built by web developer John Stephens, and developed in consultation with Kevin Rollins, an editor and MA in economics from George Mason University.We created Journaltalk to enable people to comment on articles in scholarly journals. Your quality commentary can enhance learning and make researchers and editors more accountable.Each discussion at Jt pertains to a specific article. By opening up the discussion to all, readers with special knowledge can inform and correct understandings of the subject. Jt is where you can contribute a different angle on the subject treated by a published article. People come to Jt to comment on articles.Jt is community-driven. Anyone can input article info to open a new discussion. Anyone can comment.In journal coverage, Jt is universal. The user can open up a discussion about any article in any scholarly journal — be it arts, humanities, social sciences, or hard sciences. We hope that Jt will become the focal point for online commentary on journal articles.”
