Article Types Available at F1000Research

  • Brief Reports: Small, often preliminary studies, that contain only essential references, and minimal tables and figures, placing full attention on empirical methods, results and data analysis, and the implications of those results. Brief Reports focus on issues of methodology and observation.

  • Data Notes: Brief descriptions of datasets that promote the potential reuse of research data and include details of why and how the data were created; they do not include any analyses or conclusions.

  • Genome Notes: Brief descriptions of genome sequences that promote the potential reuse of sequences and include details of why and how the genomes were sequenced; they do not include any analyses or conclusions.

  • Study Protocols: Describe in detail any study design, including (but not limited to) experimental design of basic and applied research, systematic reviews, or protocols defining research questions and empirical methods. Study pre-protocols (i.e. discussing provisional study designs) may also be submitted and will be clearly labelled as such when published. Study Protocols for pilot and feasibility studies are also considered.

  • Systematic Reviews: Should deal with a clearly formulated question and use systematic and explicit methods to identify, select, and critically assess the relevant research.

  • Opinion Articles: Give the authors’ perspective on a topical issue. Where appropriate, authors should provide a balanced view of different opinions in the field, and make it clear where they are expressing their own personal views and why.
