“As a type of altmetric used to offer a prognosis about the value of a particular article, a count of its recommendations offers an early insight into whether an article is likely to be influential, giving users access to the newest noteworthy research. Its usefulness as one of the quickest available filters (before an article is widely cited or discussed) and fits well with other complementary resources aimed at providing fast access and organization to the broadest available new research,” they write. The full article requires a subscription to access.
At the end of February another review of F1000Prime, written by consultant in biopharmaceutical strategic information and intelligence Dr Yulia Aspinall, was published on the FreePint website. She finds that the unique content and collaboration tools in F1000Prime make it a “must have” information resource for any biomedical research organization. The full review requires a subscription to read but a summary is available on the FreePint blog.
