João Peres writes our first ‘F1000Workspace Release Notes’ post where we let you know what we’ve been working on and how we hope our new features will help you in your work.
So, you have a great idea for a research project. Now you need funding to make it happen. But how? Where? From whom? Here, João Peres and Tiago Barros share their experiences of applying for research funding in order to help others embarking on the same journey.
It has been an excellent week for F1000Workspace! We’ve received news that we were named ‘Best New End User Product’ at this year’s Charleston Advisor Readers’ Choice Awards.

If you peer back through the mists of time – back to the last century – and picture an academic, it is likely her office would be full of journals, papers covered in post-it notes, highlighters and unwieldy scribblings in the margins. You may not, though, need to look so far as you probably know lots of labs and offices like this today.
