Peter Piot (Director the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and co-discoverer of the Ebola virus) has published an Editorial in F1000Research appealing for everyone working on the current epidemic to publish all their findings and experiences rapidly and openly.

Our open-access platform F1000Research yesterday opened the Ebola article collection in a bid to help share critical information faster and spread life-saving knowledge. F1000Research has set up a dedicated phone line (+442071931030) to enable those working in affected areas to dictate their reports directly to the office. F1000Research’s model of peer-reviewing after publication means that it can publish scientific and medical reports within days of submission, enabling experts to use and spread info as quickly as possible.

As part of the Ebola collection, we have also made F1000Prime recommended articles on ebola and Marburg viruses completely free to access, in order to enable researchers to speed up research. Read the full post on F1000Research’s blog here.
