The Faculty of 1000 has announced that it will launch its F1000 Research open access publishing program later this year.
Here's an excerpt from the announcement :
F1000 Research will diverge from traditional journal publishing as follows:
- Immediate publication (beyond an initial sanity check) upon submitting to the repository. . . .
- Open, post-publication peer review. . . .
- Revisioning of work. . . .
- Raw data repository. . . .
- "Article" format is not predefined. . . .
- "Article" content is not predefined. . . .
Many questions remain as F1000 Research is fine-tuned to break new ground in scholarly publishing.
- 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?
