F1000
Open research is evolving quickly, and many libraries are taking a leading role in making research more transparent, reproducible, and accessible. F1000 helps you support that work.
We provide publishing Platforms designed for rapid publication, open peer review, and robust data-sharing, along with institution-level publishing options that help you advance your open research strategy.
Whether you want to give your researchers more choice in where to publish, or you’re exploring how to host a preprint server or institutional Gateway, we’re here to help.
Open research publishing options for your authors
F1000 offers open research publishing venues designed for speed and transparency, helping your researchers share a full and accurate record of their work, including openly available data and supporting materials.
How F1000’s publishing model works
F1000’s publishing model is built around transparency, speed, and research integrity.
Rapid publication
Articles are published with a DOI as soon as they pass initial checks, making research citable straight away.
Post-publication open peer review
Articles are reviewed openly after publication, with reviewer reports and author responses published alongside the work.
Support for a wide range of research outputs
Researchers can publish Articles, Data Notes, Method Articles, Software Tool Papers, Case Reports, Replication Studies, and Negative or Null Results.
Open data to support reproducibility
All supporting data and materials are published openly, enabling reuse, replication, and reanalysis.
Inclusive editorial criteria
Decisions are based on scientific soundness rather than perceived impact or novelty.
This model supports open science and helps institutions meet expectations for transparency, open data sharing, and reproducibility.
Partner Platforms for funded researchers
F1000 partners with leading research funders to provide dedicated publishing Platforms where funded researchers can publish with no article processing charges (APCs).
Current partners include
These Platforms apply F1000’s open research model, giving funded researchers a fast, transparent way to share their findings while meeting funder requirements for openness and data availability.
F1000Research
F1000Research is F1000’s flagship open research publishing Platform, applying the same model across disciplines.
Researchers can:
Publish Articles, Data Notes, Software Tool Papers, Methods, Registered Reports, and more
Share all supporting data openly
Upload revised versions of their article with new data, corrections, or insights
Receive a DOI as soon as initial checks are complete
Demonstrate transparency through published reviewer reports and version histories
Authors need to pay an APC to publish on F1000Research. F1000Research is included in some Taylor & Francis Read & Publish agreements to help reduce or remove costs for affiliated authors as well as individual agreements with specific funders and institutions.
Institution-level open research support
Libraries play a central role in shaping institutional open research practices. F1000 offers options to help institutions showcase research outputs, support researcher needs and strengthen open research activity across your institution.
Institutional gateways on F1000Research
Institutional Gateways and Collections bring together openly published research from authors affiliated with your institution.
They can help you:
Raise the profile of your institution’s open access publications
Gather a wide range of research outputs in one place
Reduce administrative burden by avoiding individual APC arrangements
Demonstrate your institution’s commitment to open research practices
Each Gateway or Collection provides a trusted home for a wide variety of research outputs, making it easier for readers to find and cite research connected to your campus.
VeriXiv – verified preprint server
VeriXiv gives institutions the opportunity to host their own preprint server while benefiting from enhanced quality checks.
VeriXiv conducts a series of prepublication verification checks that typically include:
Author identity and affiliation verification
Plagiarism screening
Ethics and competing-interest disclosures
Image and data-integrity checks
Data availability review
VeriXiv was developed in collaboration with the Gates Foundation. With the first preprints published in 2024, the Platform gives institutions a way to support early sharing of research while maintaining strong standards of integrity and transparency.
