The most successful format is the Twitter JC enabling professionals to engage with participants outside their locality. This format has grown steadily over the last decade.4 Twitter JCs are denoted by a hashtag (a searchable phrase or acronym prefixed by the ‘#’ symbol) and are usually accompanied by a designated Twitter account. A recent analysis found over 40 Twitter JCs with two‐thirds still active as of January 2020.4During a JC session a discussion typically takes place about a pre‐selected paper guided by pre‐determined themes or questions. Formats for Twitter JCs vary from synchronous hour‐long sessions to asynchronous week‐long tweetchats and iterations in‐between with the conversation steered by the volunteer chat moderator(s).
