Open research publisher F1000 has now extended its trailblazing publishing offering on its own publishing platform, F1000Research, into all subject disciplines, with the latest addition of Humanities, Social Sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering completing the line-up.
Launched in 2013, F1000Research pioneered the ‘post publication, open peer review’ open research model, initially piloting this novel way of publishing with scholars from across life science and medicine, due to their greater appetite for Open practices at that time. As confidence, opinion and adoption of open research grew, so did F1000Research’s reach into other disciplines such as the Natural Sciences, Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences. Completing the set are Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), Physical Sciences and Engineering (PSE), which have been launched.
In recognition of the different needs that the HSS and PSE communities have in conducting and publishing their research, two new article types were recently launched on F1000Research: Policy Briefs and Case Studies. These new article formats expand on F1000Research’s already impressive range of research outputs on offer, such as data notes, method articles and software tools.
Researchers are also able to publish other outputs that may not warrant full peer review, but that are still important and valuable outputs of their research such as technical reports, whitepapers, training materials, conference slide sets, etc. to support citation, recognition and credit for those outputs and to ultimately aid reproducibility.
