Christian Ohmann discusses his research article on sharing individual participant data from clinical trails explaining the current challenges in sharing this data and what can be done to overcome these challenges. Sharing sensitive data Sharing detailed result data, as part of ‘open science’, is the norm in many scientific disciplines, but this has only recently…
The decrease in cost and increase in scale of biological data production and its diverse applications has changed life science research in recent years. Applied bioinformatics skills are now essential to successfully analyse data from high-throughput ‘omics instrumentation in many fields of biology. This has resulted in a need to upskill the life science workforce,…
Veljko Veljkovic, Biomed Protection, and Slobodan Paessler, Galveston National Laboratory, have published articles on F1000Research in which they predicted the effectivemess of the flu vaccine in 2017/2018 and 2018/2019. In this guest blog they explain how they went about this and how accurate their predictions were.
In our work on the ELIXIR-EXCELERATE task ‘Capacity Building in Genome Assembly and Annotation’, we noticed a need for a document to help researchers get started with genome assembly and genome annotation. It is difficult to compare subjects in bioinformatics, but at least in my mind, genome assembly and genome annotation are among the most…
Late last year, we published the first Stage 1 Registered Report on F1000Research. Publishing Registered Reports is believed to increase the rigor around the scientific method, which supports reproducibility. We interviewed the lead author, Julius Emmrich, Charité, Germany and one of the article’s reviewers, Ádám Dénes, Institute of Experimental Medicine, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, to get an insight into their views on this way of improving experimental design.
Anuj Sharma talks about his research on miltefosine and its potential use as an anti-chikungunya drug.
We announce a new partnership with NC3Rs to launch a gateway that will maximise the impact of the 3Rs – replace, reduce or refine – technologies and approaches in animal research. In this guest blog, Vicky Robinson, Chief Executive of NCR3Rs, introduces the new NC3Rs gateway
Why is community action being considered as a means to reduce harmful alcohol use? Peter Anderson, discusses this in his research article, published on F1000Research. Here he explains how city based policies could help alleviate the problem and who they should target.
Emily Hesketh, a postdoctoral fellow at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, discusses her research note published on F1000Research about a method to improve communication between specialists in interdisciplinary teams.
Kevin Darras, University of Goettingen, talks about his fieldwork in Berbak National Park, Indonesia, recording the dawn chorus to survey the bird communities in tropical peat swamp as reported in a Research Article published on F1000Research.
