Wellcome Open Research

Aims & Scope

Wellcome Open Research is a rapid open access publishing platform for a broad range of Wellcome-funded research. The platform welcomes articles reporting on any basic scientific, translational and clinical research that has been funded (or co-funded) by Wellcome. The platform is open to submissions from researchers, practitioners and experts, and all articles will benefit from open peer review. Each publication must have at least one author who has been, or still is, a recipient of a Wellcome grant. Articles must be original (not duplications). All research, including clinical trials, systematic reviews, software tools, method articles, and many others, is welcome and will be published irrespective of the perceived level of interest or novelty; confirmatory and negative results, as well as null studies are all suitable. All articles are published using a fully transparent, author-driven model; the authors are solely responsible for the content of their article. Invited peer review takes place openly after publication, and the authors play a crucial role in ensuring that the article is peer-reviewed by independent experts in a timely manner. Articles that pass peer review will be indexed in PubMed and elsewhere. Wellcome Open Research is an Open Research 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.

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
