Our F1000 Specialists programme continues to grow rapidly across the world. The most applications have been received from the USA, but a ground swell seems to be emerging in China with a number of applications and appointments in the region. Since the end of July, we have received more than 40 new applications in total…

On 15th November, Faculty of 1000’s outreach team will be running a 3-hour workshop at the University of Oxford’s Medical Science Division on how to ‘Embrace information overload and understand research impact’. The course aims to demonstrate how the internet is continuing to improve the ways in which life scientists and clinical researchers can access,…
“Again, they did it again! As with their other websites, it’s obvious that the F1000 crew puts a lot of thought into making F1000Trials an easy-to-use resource with a lot of helpful features. I’m sitting here clapping my hands,” said Donatas Zailskas, a 6th year medical Lithuanian student. But what do you think about F1000Trials?…

It’s the only continent on which we have not appointed an F1000 Specialist – yet (although given the overwhelming response so far, we remain optimistic). In July we received more than 60 applications to join…

Today we are launching a project that will greatly improve how life scientists and clinicians connect with F1000 services globally – and locally – and will give scientists interested in scholarly communication some exciting new opportunities and recognition. This initiative, called F1000 Specialists, will allow enthusiastic users of F1000 services to become official, local representatives…
