Beat Ebola with better research sharing, says the discoverer of virus.
As our sister journal F1000Research publishes the full experimental results of Kenneth Lee’s attempts to replicate the notorious STAP cell research, we thought we’d chart the story so far…
The Faculty of 1000 team had a great time attending the 2013 Charleston Conference. It was a pleasure to participate and meet lots of old and new faces at our vendor booth and cocktail hour. Iain H, our Outreach Director from London, flew over the pond to give two presentations. First, Iain talked about how…
Our F1000 Specialists programme continues to grow rapidly across the world. The most applications have been received from the USA, but a ground swell seems to be emerging in China with a number of applications and appointments in the region. Since the end of July, we have received more than 40 new applications in total…
Faculty of 1000 Chairman Vitek Tracz reveals in an interview published today in Science Magazine much of what is driving the development of F1000’s services for life scientists and clinicians. In short, it’s solutions – solutions to long-established problems in scholarly communication, which, with better more efficient use of web technology, are solvable: 1. Better…
With the end of the summer here in the northern hemisphere the nights are growing longer and, with the start of the academic year, so is our schedule of external presentations, panels and workshops. Below is a list of our external presentations/talks, panel discussions, and educational workshops until the end of 2013, so far. These…
All articles published in Public Library of Science (PLOS) journals that have been recommended in F1000Prime – more than 3000 articles – now include the F1000Prime recommended badge and score. PLOS have added F1000Prime scores to their sophisticated suite of article-level metrics (ALMs), which helps give authors of important articles more information on the impact…
Last week the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment (DORA) launched, with Faculty of 1000 as one of the original 75 scientific organizations to sign the Declaration. DORA is a laudable initiative and anyone with an interest in improving the way we assess the quality and impact of research should read and, if you agree…
F1000Research, one of a number of major open access journal launches in 2012, has been fortunate to have support from the life science community – for submitting papers and reviewing them. We’ve been thinking about the best ways to show our appreciation to the early adopters of F1000Research’s Open Science approach to publishing papers, data,…
Exciting things are kicking off here at F1000. At the start of this year, we announced our plans to develop a new project – F1000 Research – an attempt to create a new open access, open data publishing model within biology and medicine, with open and transparent peer review. Well, we’re pleased to announce that…
