Aims & Scope

F1000Research publishes articles and other research outputs reporting basic scientific, scholarly, translational and clinical research across the physical and life sciences, engineering, medicine, social sciences and humanities. F1000Research is a scholarly publication platform set up for the scientific, scholarly and medical research community; each article has at least one author who is a qualified researcher, scholar or clinician actively working in their speciality and who has made a key contribution to the article. Articles must be original (not duplications). All research is suitable irrespective of the perceived level of interest or novelty; we welcome confirmatory and negative results, as well as null studies. F1000Research publishes different type of research, including clinical trials, systematic reviews, software tools, method articles, and many others. Reviews and Opinion articles providing a balanced and comprehensive overview of the latest discoveries in a particular field, or presenting a personal perspective on recent developments, are also welcome. See the full list of article types we accept for more information. All articles are published using a fully transparent model; the authors are solely responsible for the content of their article. Invited peer review takes place openly after publication and once peer review has been completed and the platform has been formally approved by bibliographic databases, articles that pass peer review will be indexed there. F1000Research is an Open Science platform: all articles are published open access; the publishing and peer review processes are fully transparent; and authors are asked to include detailed descriptions of methods and to provide full and easy access to the source data underlying the results in order to improve reproducibility. F1000Research also publishes other research outputs, collectively called documents, such as policies, guidelines, and workflows- these vary in formats and often differ from traditional scholarly publications. They are always linked to a specific gateway or collection (see below) and are published as a service to the wider research community. Posters, slides and documents are not peer reviewed, and do not appear in bibliographic databases such as PubMed.
