Presented are embodiments for the creation and management of online scholarly journal clubs, as well as for facilitating the proceedings of the clubs. In one general embodiment, a journal club server receives bibliographic entries from a user. These received bibliographic entries are stored in a database. An identifier is assigned to each new bibliographic entry stored. In one implementation, the same identifier is assigned to each bibliographic entry corresponding to the same scholarly work. Association requests are also received from users and implemented to associate at least one of, another user, or a group of users (e.g., a journal club), or a content item, with a stored bibliographic entry. This association is accomplished using the bibliographic entry's identifier. Once a bibliographic entry is stored in the server database, a user, or a group of users, can access the entry and content items associated with it.
