Since we launched F1000Research, many of you have been very active supporters of the journal. You’ve talked to colleagues, put up flyers, tweeted and blogged about us. Now, F1000 has launched an initiative that will give you some credit for supporting us: You can become an official F1000 Specialist.

To find out more, you can read this blog post announcing the project on Naturally Selected, as well as the F1000 Specialists website itself. From the post:

“We envisage F1000 Specialists giving presentations, helping organize local events, distributing information, gathering feedback on our websites and sharing ideas on what we can do differently – and better. But we don’t want to be too prescriptive. If an F1000 Specialist has an idea of a way to reach researchers at their institute that we haven’t thought of, we want to hear about it. We like trying – and building – new things at F1000.”

If you’re interested in joining the program, you can sign up on the site, or ask me if you have further questions. The F1000 Specialists project is jointly run by Iain H. and me, in our roles as Outreach Directors for F1000Prime and F1000Research respectively.
