A New #OpenAccess Platform
F1000 Research is a new platform for immediate publication along with open, post-publication peer review and a site for raw data repository. The open review is described as a "simple formal check by invited reviewers confirming that the work is scientifically sound, with commenting optional... at any stage...any registered reader can also comment on the work and authors can respond." Importantly, the default standard is to use the Creative Commons, CC-BY for licenses for articles and CC0 for data. The platform targets biology and medical studies.The final platform model is not yet open. It appears they are still seeking input on questions such as:
- How much formal refereeing is required?
- What is an article amendment versus an update?
- What incentives are required to encourage post-publication refereeing, author response and revisions, and sharing of raw but template data?
- What author fees are appropriate for the different types of content?
