Open Research Europe: open and transparent publication with F1000

Open Research Europe: open and transparent publication with F1000 Online

Open Research Europe is a publishing platform that enables European Commission-funded researchers to rapidly publish any results they think are worth sharing, including negative or null results. It is just one of several similar platforms run by F1000 including Wellcome Open Research, Gates Open Research and the F1000 platform itself.

After submission, articles are subject to a number of ‘objective checks’ carried out by professional in-house Editors, after which they are immediately published with a formal citation and DOI. Peer review then takes place after the article is published. Authors can respond to comments and produce new versions which are deposited into Europe PMC. Once a peer review threshold has been reached the papers are sent for indexation at a variety of industry standard databases including PubMed and Scopus.

The F1000 platforms are in line with the principles of responsible metrics, whereby existing research assessment processes, for example based on Journal Impact Factor (JIF), are increasingly recognised as barriers to open research. They support the principles set out in DORA, the recent Council Conclusions on Research Assessment and Open Science and also share some features with the recent Plan S proposal on responsible publishing.

We are very pleased to welcome Kelly Woods, Publisher at F1000, who will explain how the platforms work and the rationale behind them. We will also hear from Patricia Ternes Dallagnollo about her experience publishing with Open Research Europe and how it supports her broader open practice, using github and the zenodo repository for source code for example.

Kelly Woods is the Publisher at F1000, a leading Open Research publisher which is responsible for looking after Open Research Europe (in collaboration with partners LIBER, Eurodoc and GYA). She has a background in Open Access scholarly publishing and prior to joining F1000 she worked at Frontiers and The Royal Society on numerous OA titles.

Patricia Ternes Dallagnollo is currently a Research Software Engineer at the University of Leeds. Previously she was Research Fellow in the School of Geography with expertise in complex system, modeling and simulation, numerical Simulation, computational fluid dynamics, nanoscopic friction and nanomaterials.
