First of all, we hope you’ve all had time to check our our brand new homepage design. This new design includes not just the weekly featured article, but also regularly updated featured peer review reports, featured collections, and a featured blog posts. You can also find four videos about F1000Research’s core principles, where researchers talk about the importance of immediate publication, transparent refereeing, data sharing, and the lack of editorial bias.

 

Featured referee report:

From referee Gregg Roman, on Colomb J and Brembs B. Sub-strains of Drosophila Canton-S differ markedly in their locomotor behavior [v1; ref status: indexed, https://f1000r.es/3is] F1000Research 2014, 3:176 (doi: 10.12688/f1000research.4263.1)

“This manuscript does an excellent job demonstrating significant strain differences in Burdian’s paradigm. Since each Drosophila lab has their own wild type (usually Canton-S) isolate, this issue of strain differences is actually a very important one for between lab reproducibility.”  – Gregg Roman
