Recently an Opinion Article ‘Fairness in scientific publishing’ by Philippa Matthews, University of Oxford, passed peer review on F1000Research after the publication of version 2. Both versions were openly peer reviewed by three reviewers, one of whom was Gustav Nilsonne, Karolinska Institute. In this blog, both discuss what the FAIR Principles – Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Re-usable – mean for authors, reviewers, readers and publishers.

Contributors will be listed as authors on the resulting publications. If you are interested in helping you can sign up here. For research involving animals to be as scientifically and ethically…
The first articles have gone live on Wellcome Open Research today; 15 of them in total, with more submissions in the pipeline. The breadth of articles received so far starts to show just how broad these outputs can and should be (not just traditional narrative research articles). It also shows benefits of using such a platform for researchers across career stages, from those just starting out to more experienced and tenured researchers. This is a fantastic start!
