We regularly add new features to F1000Workspace – some big, some small. Here is a list of some of the updates to F1000Workspace in the last few months:

• Proxy support: If you access journal articles off-campus with a proxy, this now also works within F1000Workspace.
• Reading list: Have you saved an article but not yet had time to read it? You can now quickly add it to your reading list by clicking the “open book” icon in your references. Articles in your reading list are shown with a dark icon. Once you’ve read it, you can click it again to remove it from the reading list (while keeping the article in its projects).

• The desktop application can now handle files of up to 100MB in size.
• Comments made in the manuscript section of Workspace are now available inside of Word.
• From Word, you can now submit manuscripts directly to F1000Research. If you have linked the manuscript with a shared project, other members’ names will be added as co-authors. You will be able to edit them in the submission form.

Within your first year of registering your F1000Workspace account, you can publish one “short article” (<1000 words) free of charge on open science platform F1000Research, so the new “submit to F1000Research” feature is a great opportunity to claim your free article! The normal publication cost for a short article is $150.

If you don’t see the updates in the Word plugin yet, you can install the new update manually.
