After a successful beta phase F1000Journal Clubs launches today, with a variety of options for accessing and trialling the service. Read the press release here. F1000Prime is, amongst other things, about saving researchers’ valuable time. Scientists can spend hours each month critically evaluating published research in their journal clubs, and a well-organized journal club can…

Literature discovery tools and services are gaining in popularity among scientists. A principal consideration when choosing one of these services is how much help they can provide scientists and doctors in their work, while ease of use and user support should also be taken into consideration. Join us on Wednesday, January 29th at 1pm ET…

After F1000Prime published its 150,000th article recommendation last week, we reflect on some of the most influential biomedical articles of the last 3 years, as selected and rated by the F1000Prime Faculty. It’s almost 3 years exactly since we reached the milestone of 100,000 articles being recommended in F1000Prime. So, since January 2011, which articles…

With 2014 upon us and the nominations now closed, it’s time to announce the F1000 Specialist of the Year 2013. After a tremendously eventful year for the F1000 Specialists program, and as we look forward to another equally eventful one, we’re pleased to highlight the achievements of four outstanding F1000 Specialists, one of which we…

Iain H, our Outreach Director from London, flew over the pond to give two presentations. First, Iain talked about how…

Last Thursday 28th November, Eva Amsen (Outreach Director, F1000Research) and I visited the beautiful city of Heidelberg, Germany to connect with researchers, F1000 Specialists and Faculty in the local area. We first headed to DKFZ to support F1000 Specialist and post-doctoral drosophilist Jerome Korzelius with his talk on F1000Prime and how it helps him keep…

The first F1000 community meet-up in New York City was a success – F1000’s Cindy Chen has summed it up perfectly below with a Storify of how the night progressed. We can’t wait to do it again next year! Get in touch if you’d like to arrange a meet-up in your part of the world.

Jerome Korzelius, an F1000 Specialist, guest posts on his experience at EDRC 2013. To paraphrase EDRC co-organizer Jordi Casanova, it felt almost rebellious, all these scientists coming together to talk about fundamental research on the model organism Drosophila (aka the fruit fly) in times of scant funding and increased pressure on scientists to do more…

On 28th November F1000 is heading to Heidelberg to host the last meet-up of this year. We are looking forward to hosting our local community at Heidelberg’s Vetter’s Brauhaus for the third #F1000 meet-up – informal networking event for talking science, technology and publishing. As is now usual, drinks and snacks are on F1000, and…
