Sorry for the long silence since my last post – we’ve been busy getting everything ready! We’re in fact almost there now and will be publishing our first articles in the next few days. As we announced back in January, we expect to publish a small number of articles over the coming months so that…
We are delighted to welcome on board an exceptional list of some of the biggest names across biology and medicine onto our F1000 Research Advisory Panel. Over the past couple of weeks, our panel has doubled in size to over 200 members, and I am sure most of you will recognise many of these individuals.…
Many recent blogs and tweets have been suggesting F1000 Research as an alternative for those who have been using Nature Precedings, which closes today. We would be delighted to receive such submissions so if you do have something that you had planned to send to Nature Precedings within the fields of biology and medicine (or…
We’d like to start by welcoming Steven Hyman, Alan Schechter, Judith Kimble and Marvin Wickens to the F1000 Research Advisory Panel. Steven is Director of the Stanley Center for Psychiatric Research at the Broad Institute, and Harvard University Distinguished Service Professor of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology.

Comments and suggestions are very much welcomed, and please feel free to let us know about…
Earlier this week, a group from the Materials Science department at Oxford University brought together prominent figures in the current open science debate to discuss The Scientific Evolution: Open Science and the Future of Publishing, organised by Victoria Watson, who was driving the idea forward, and Simon Benjamin, founder of an experiment piloting rapid dissemination…
We are delighted to announce the significant expansion of F1000 Research’s Advisory Panel to include almost 100 world leading scientists and clinicians across biology and medicine. This group will form our Editorial Advisory Group and provide us with a solid sounding board for our ideas as we refine our plans. Our existing Advisory Panel members…
I promised in my last post to follow up on some recurring themes in many of the discussions that have been ongoing around the plans for F1000 Research. One of the other major issues relates to the idea that our plans will increase dissemination of poor quality science and the subsequent impact of this. Will…
