With the end of the summer here in the northern hemisphere the nights are growing longer and, with the start of the academic year, so is our schedule of external presentations, panels and workshops. Below is a list of our external presentations/talks, panel discussions, and educational workshops until the end of 2013, so far. These…
September 21st is World Alzheimer’s Day, and we’d like to mark this by highlighting two F1000Research papers from the past year that have been received very well (you can read the public referee reports on each article) and that both reported new discoveries related to Alzheimer’s disease. Sometimes it might feel that progress in disease…

The course aims to demonstrate how the internet is continuing to improve the ways in which life scientists and clinical researchers can access,…
We’ve been busy over the summer, so we thought we’d give you a summary of some of our recent activities and current events: Negative results: We extended the very popular negative results campaign until the end of September, so if you have a paper with negative results, you can submit that for free before then.…

Science’s most important breakthroughs, from the discovery of microorganisms to the theory of evolution, have come about through observation. As part of the scientific method, observations are made to record a fact or an occurrence to help either prove or disprove a hypothesis. However, we all know the unpredictable nature of science and the curve…
One of the interesting aspects of F1000Research articles is that you can update them at any time. In February, Jasmina Kurepa and Jan Smalle, of the University of Kentucky, published a paper about an Arabidopsis 26S proteasome mutant that passed peer review within just a few weeks. However, in June, they updated their paper with…
When you visit the F1000Research homepage or the page with all articles, you can see that we put our papers into two different categories: Published articles (all articles) and Indexed articles. Since articles go online before they pass peer review, a newly published article will not yet have passed peer review and will not be…
