2015 has been another exciting year at F1000. We launched F1000Workspace, the paper-writing and collaboration tool, in May and, by November, over 1 million references had already been uploaded onto the service.

Rebecca Lawrence was announced Managing Director in November, Harold Varmus joined our International Advisory Board, and several F1000 Faculty won Lasker awards. We also received loads of interesting F1000Prime reviews from our wonderful Faculty and Associate Faculty Members – many thanks for your hard work!

Below, we sum up our year in tweets – the most popular one from each month.

On behalf of the team at F1000, have a wonderful festive period!
