F1000, a provider of services to biomedical researchers to support the discovery, writing and publication of new scientific findings, has announced the appointment of Rebecca Lawrence as Managing Director. Lawrence was previously Managing Director of F1000 Research Ltd, the publishing arm of F1000.
During the 6 years she has worked at F1000, Lawrence has launched and established both F1000Research (the open science publishing platform) and F1000Posters (the open access repository of posters and slides, now incorporated into F1000Research). Lawrence, who has over 15 years' experience in the STM publishing industry, is also co-Chair of several international initiatives around peer review recognition and data sharing, working with ORCID, CASRAI, RDA, BioSharing and other major organisations.
This appointment marks an important transition for F1000 in moving towards an integrated suite of products overseen by the F1000 Faculty, a unique and prestigious group of over 11,000 experts across biology and medicine. F1000 are now working with major research funders and institutions around the world to utilise the tools and services F1000 have built over the past 13 years. The objective is to address the major challenges that researchers face in trying to write and publish their findings, and in the way they are subsequently evaluated for future careers and grants.
