Why is F1000Research right for Zero Hunger research?

Make an impact sooner

Our rapid, open publication model means your research could be published in as few as 14 days, so it can start making an impact sooner. All articles published on F1000Research are fully open access, meaning your research can be read by anyone – including practitioners, policymakers, NGOs, and fellow researchers.


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 Gateways, such as the GODAN Gateway.


Bring your data to life

F1000Research supports interactive figures in the body of your article, powered by Plot.ly or via an iFrame. These figures allow readers to play with different visualizations, filter results, and explore the data in detail for themselves. Where relevant, Code Ocean capsules can be embedded for in-article code integration and reanalysis, supporting computational reproducibility without users needing to install any new software.


Support with our Open Data Policy

F1000Research offers support in making your source data openly available in line with our progressive Open Data Policy. This includes tailored, expert guidance from our Editorial team, and a range of online resources for researchers in our handy new Open Data Toolkit.

Featured articles

Investigation of risk of bias due to unreported and selectively included results in meta-analyses of nutrition research: the ROBUST study protocol [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]

M Page, L Bero, C Kroeger, Z Dai, S McDonald, A Forbes, J McKenzie

Dietary guidelines for optimal health should be informed by systematic reviews of the available scientific evidence, however if the systematic reviews themselves are flawed in terms of design, conduct, or reporting, then this can lead to ineffective and potentially harmful recommendations.

This Study Protocol sets out the proposed methodology for assessing the risk of bias due to unreported and selectively included results in meta-analyses of the association between diet and health-related outcomes.

 

A qualitative exploration of behavioral factors affecting mothers of malnourished children under 5 years old in Kiribati [version 2; peer review: 3 approved]

Antje Reiher, Masoud Mohammadnezhad

In Kiribati, malnutrition is the leading cause of death for children below the age of five. In order to tackle this issue, it is crucial to identify the main factors that are hindering this preventable disease, to inform health policy, planning and delivery in the region. 

This study investigates the contributing behavioral factors among mothers of malnourished children under 5 years old in Kiribati through focus group discussions with a total of 35 participants. 

Introducing the GODAN Gateway

“We are convinced that the solution to Zero Hunger lies within existing, but often unavailable, agriculture and nutrition data” - GODAN Gateway

GODAN (Global Open Data for Agriculture and Nutrition) supports efforts to make agriculture and nutrition-related research data openly available across the world. The GODAN Gateway on F1000Research facilitates this by publishing peer reviewed articles and other outputs in this field, which describe:

  • Open data and informatics research projects
  • Applications that enable or utilize open data
  • Other open knowledge initiatives

If the scope of your research is right, you could benefit from inclusion in the GODAN Gateway, which further boosts the visibility and discoverability of your article.
