When we first launched F1000Research just over four years ago, we took the first step on a journey that we hope will change the way the results of scientific research are published by using a fully transparent post-publication peer review model. We are delighted to announce today that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has agreed to join us on this journey by partnering with us to launch Gates Open Research using that same model of publication.
Cluster Flow is a pipeline tool developed by the SciLifeLab Swedish National Genomics Facility and the Babraham Bioinformatics Group in the UK. It has been described in a Software Tool Article on F1000Research. In this guest blog, one of the article’s authors, Phil Ewels explains what Cluster Flow is and how it will be of use to the bioinformatics community.
Michael Hanke has published three articles about Studyforrest – a neuroscience project involving the film Forrest Gump – on F1000Research. In this guest blog, he explains to us what the project is about and how it relates to the the multi-award winning film.
In this guest post, author Benjamin Haibe-Kains talks about the need for better integrative analysis frameworks to leverage the plethora of large pharmacogenomic studies available to date. He believes that preprint servers, as well as open access publishing venues with transparent pre- and post-publication peer-review, such as F1000Research, will be crucial to ensure proper dissemination of data and analysis results in the active field of cancer pharmacogenomic research.
Ross Mounce is January’s Specialist of the Month. F1000 Specialists are PhD students, postdocs, clinicians and researchers who help their colleagues use F1000Prime, F1000Workspace and F1000Research, and spread the word about F1000 within their institutes.
The IICARus study is seeking volunteers to help assess the impact of the ARRIVE guidelines on the quality of reporting of in vivo research. 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…

In this guest post, Hannah Hope, Open Research Co-ordinator at Wellcome, explains how the funder is aiming to put open into action via their new publishing platform Wellcome Open Research. At Wellcome, we are committed to improving health for everyone by helping great ideas to thrive. Our researchers are central to this. The accessibility of the…
Today is the beginning of this year’s annual Open Access Week. This year’s Open Access Week theme of “Open in Action” is all about taking concrete steps to open up research and scholarship and encouraging others to do the same. In this blog post, we look at some of the ways we at F1000Research already do to work towards wholly open science.
I am excited to be presenting at the first GODAN Summit in New York on 15-16th September in conjunction with the 71st Session of the UN General Assembly. GODAN (Global Open Data in Agriculture and Nutrition) is a high-level initiative to make agriculture and nutrition research data publicly available, so that the insights and knowledge they…
