Why publish on F1000Research?
Accelerate the impact of your research
With rapid, open publication as standard on F1000Research, you could see your article published in as few as 14 days, meaning your research can make an impact sooner. This is particularly relevant for fast-paced fields of study, such as infectious diseases and epidemiology, where immediate access to robust research is essential for informing clinical and public health responses. All articles are published openly, so anyone can read, cite and use your work – including policymakers, practitioners, NGOs and fellow researchers.
Research from all fields welcome to support the 3rd Global Goal
F1000Research welcomes articles from all fields of study relating to wellness and human health, whether your research focuses on the current coronavirus pandemic, mental health, pharmacology – or something else! Articles are published on the platform without editorial bias, so authors (not editors) have control overly the publication of their scholarly outputs.
Reduce research waste
At F1000Research, we believe you should be able to tell the full story of your research and get credit for all your outputs, no matter what format they take. Alongside traditional Research Articles, we also welcome Data Notes, Software Tool Articles, Method Articles, Study Protocols, and more. We welcome confirmatory and negative results, as well as null studies: all research is suitable irrespective of perceived novelty or interest, meaning no research gets wasted.
Increase the visibility of your research
Once your article has passed peer review, inclusion in Scopus, PubMed, Google Scholar and other major indexers will help it reach more readers. On F1000Research, your article is supported by machine-readable metadata to boost discoverability. And if the scope of your article is right, you could also benefit from featuring your research in one of our dedicated Gateways, such as the Disease Outbreaks Gateway, iDSI Gateway, or TDR Gateway.

Identification of publicly available data sources to inform the conduct of Health Technology Assessment in India [version 2; peer review: 3 approved]
L Downey, N Rao, L Guinness, M Asaria, S Prinja, A Sinha, R Kant, A Pandey, F Cluzeau, K Chalkidou
Health Technology Assessment (HTA) provides a global, structured approach to synthesizing evidence for cost and clinical effectiveness to inform evidence-based priorities. India has recently committed to institutionalizing HTA in their health resource allocation decision-making process, but effective HTA requires reliable data. This study identifies and assesses publicly available data sources to inform the HTA process in India.
