Anisa Rowhani-Farid and Adrian Barnett recently published the second version of their Research Article in which they compared data-sharing in two journals and whether badges had an effect on sharing. In this guest blog, Anisa Rowhani-Farid describes what motivated her in her work and the results of her research.
An Open Letter published by Pamela Kolopack, University of Toronto and James Lavery, Emory University, on Gates Open Research discussed issues around informed consent in field trials of genetically modified mosquitoes. The article was openly peer reviewed by Carolyn Neuhaus, The Hastings Centre, after publication. Last week we published the first part of this post in which James and Carolyn discussed topics raised in James’ article. This week they discuss open peer review, institutional review board s and mechanism of authorisation.
Lenny Teytelman, co-founder of protocols.io, tells us how reproducibility is supported by scientists sharing their methods on protocols.io. We also get some insight into the early days of protocols.io and conversations he had with key players at F1000.
In a recent Open Letter published on Gates Open Research, Pamela Kolopack, University of Toronto, and James Lavery, Emory University, discuss the issues of informed consent in field trials involving gene-drive mosquitoes . One of the reviewers of the article was Carolyn Neuhaus, The Hastings Centre. We thought the through discussion that occurred in Carolyn’s peer review report warranted further exploration.
Judith Blake, a geneticist working at The Jackson Laboratory, US, is March’s featured Faculty Member of the Month. For International Women’s Day, we interviewed Blake to hear more about spotting patterns in research and her career trajectory in evolutionary biology.
The next few months will bring some exciting developments to F1000Prime. We are evolving and redesigning our website and service, to reflect the changing nature of science and to more fully support researchers in discovering the articles that really matter to their research.
Laura Boykin and Anders Savill discuss the value of a updated reference dataset to help researchers rapidly and accurately identify members of the whitefly species and what this means for crop management.
Today is all a buzz with romance. It’s not just humans that perform grand gestures and surprise partners with gifts, for many other animals adopt elaborate courting rituals to woo a mate. This Valentine’s Day, we reveal flies supposed charming side as we focus on their mating behaviour.
Last summer we launched our interactive figures initiative with plotly. Since then, we have published 22 interactives figures in seven articles across two platforms. In this post authors describe their figures and share why they wanted to make them interactive.
A Data Note published and currently undergoing peer review on Gates Open Research describes a collective research effort to profile and annotate more than 7,500 microbe spices including bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Two of the authors, Heba Shaaban and David Westfall, describe their work in this guest blog.
