An open-access venue for fast publication with visible peer review.

F1000Research is a multidisciplinary publishing platform where researchers can publish articles and other research outputs with open access. Its model emphasizes quick online publication followed by transparent peer review, with accepted articles eligible for indexing in major scholarly databases.

Why it stands out

  • Combines publication and peer review in a transparent post-publication model rather than hiding reviewer reports.
  • Accepts a wider range of scholarly outputs than conventional article-only journals.
  • Built-in emphasis on data deposition, software, code, and source-material sharing.
  • Works with major research funders and institutions through dedicated gateways and collections.
  • Clear separation between rapid initial publication and later indexing after peer-review approval.

Good to know

  • Authors should review article processing charges before submitting.
  • Publication is not the same as final indexed status; articles must pass peer review for inclusion in some databases.
  • The open peer-review model may not suit authors who prefer anonymous or private review.
  • Submission requirements around data, code, and source materials can add preparation work.
