Importing references from the web shouldn’t be hard – and now it isn’t. Our new collaborative writing platform, F1000Workspace, has a nifty browser extension that allows you to instantly capture articles as you’re surfing the web, with just a click of a button. Have you ever saved an article only to forget later on the…
In the last of our video tips, we take a look at the clinicians and researchers that comprise F1000Prime. For all our recorded demonstrations and webinars, take a look at the F1000 YouTube playlist, or the other videos on our channel.
