To mark World TB Day, we launch a collection that we hope will grow over the coming months to highlight the results of could help influence decisions taken by leaders during this year’s UN General Assembly. We also speak to one of the advisors for the collection – Helen Fletcher from London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
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.
Liz Allen explains how researchers can submit their work directly from bioRxiv to F1000Research offering more choice and flexibility to authors in deciding when to set preprints to under invited peer review.
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.
The AAAS Annual Meeting takes place in Austin from 15 to 19 February and F1000 will be there. We will try to get to the heart of open science while deep in the heart of Texas. We will be moderating a panel that will include perspectives from a researcher, Charles Lin, Baylor College of Medicine; a funder, Ashley Farley, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and a publisher, Sabina Alam, F1000. We get some insight into their views on open science.
F1000Research operates a transparent post-publication peer review model. We believe this style of peer review creates a conversation between authors and reviewers. To bring this conversation to life, we hear from Camilla Ip, an author on one of F1000Research’s most cited articles and reviewer Nick Loman.
