When we first launched F1000Research just over four years ago, we took the first step on a journey that we hope will change the way the results of scientific research are published by using a fully transparent post-publication peer review model. We are delighted to announce today that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has agreed to join us on this journey by partnering with us to launch Gates Open Research using that same model of publication.
Open science could improve the dissemination of scholarly knowledge, but there is no commonly shared vision on how this could be achieved. Following discussions concerning the matter, guest authors, Katja Mayer, University of Vienna, and Peter Kraker, postdoctoral researcher at Know-Center, propose twelve principles that they hope will inspire a widespread discussion towards a shared vision for scholarly communication in the 21st century.
