Since we launched F1000Workspace earlier this year, thousands of researchers and clinicians have signed up for our suite of tools to help them keep track of the articles they’ve read, discover new articles, collaborate with co-workers and write their articles.

Together, they have now saved more than one million references to their F1000Workspace projects! That’s a lot of articles…

This includes references that researchers imported from their existing libraries, as well as articles they saved via the browser plugin, via suggested articles within F1000Workspace or through the Word plugin.

You can read a bit more about this milestone in our press release, which also includes comments from some of our users:

Kevin Black, a professor at Washington University in St Louis (USA), who works on brain imaging research on movement disorders such as Tourette Syndrome and Parkinson’s disease, said: “F1000Workspace makes it easy to save, mark up and upload PDFs of articles without leaving my web browser.

“It’s also easy to find all of the above from anywhere in the world with internet access and to share collections of files, and comments and PDFs, with my colleagues.”

Tamica Collins, a researcher at Columbia University, who is finishing a PhD thesis at Indiana University School of Medicine, said: “While writing my thesis, I have to search for multiple articles and it can be overwhelming. Using the F1000 browser extension helps with this because I can save references as I’m searching and add tags to let me know why I saved them.

“One of the best things about the Word plugin on F1000Workspace is that I can access my notes and references directly from Word. This helps with organisation while I’m writing my thesis. I also like the fact that I can access PubMed directly from Word.”

We’d love to hear your feedback as well! What’s your favourite feature of F1000Workspace?
