Faculty of 1000: Post-Publication Peer Review


Faculty of 1000: Post-Publication Peer Review

Faculty of 1000 identifica y evalúa los artículos más relevantes del ámbito de la investigación biomédica. Los artículos son seleccionados por un equipo  de 2.300 científicos del máximo nivel. Cada mes publica unas 1.500 nuevas evaluaciones, lo que supone un 2% de todos los artículos publicados en este campo de la ciencia. En el momento actual recoge más de 100. 000 referencias.
“Articles are selected by a peer-nominated global ‘Faculty’ of the world’s leading scientists and clinicians who then rate them and explain their importance.From the numerical ratings awarded, we have created a unique system for quantifying the importance of individual articles and, from these article ratings, journals. Both articles and journals can then be ranked overall and, importantly, at the subject, or Faculty, level.Launched in 2002, F1000 was conceived as a collaboration of 1000 international Faculty Members. The name stuck even though the remit of the service continues to grow and the Faculty now numbers more than 10,000 experts worldwide. Their evaluations form a fully searchable database containing more than 100,000 records and identifying the best research available.Faculty Members and their evaluations are organized into over 40 Faculties (subjects), which are further subdivided into over 300 Sections.On average, 1500 new evaluations are published each month; this corresponds to approximately 2% of all published articles in the biological and medical sciences.”
