This webinar is part of the activities related to the Pathway Open Access : Repositories and Publishers, and organized by the CIARD Community. *About the webinar* The Open Science journal F1000Research was launched in 2012 in order to address many of the shortcomings of conventional life science publishing, particularly those that exacerbate publication bias, publishing inefficiencies and irreproducibility of findings. Open Science goes beyond Open Access in making every element of the scientific process free to use, reuse and redistribute. This includes ensuring the availability of raw data, software and referee reports, which are often at least as important as the article with which they are associated. This webinar will provide an overview of F1000Research's approach to Open Science publishing and highlight other unique aspects of the journal's model including post-publication peer review, article versioning and non-traditional article types. *Presented by Thomas Ingraham* Thomas Ingraham is Development Editor at F1000Research and has been involved with the journal's Open Science and editorial development since its inception.

- 2. F1000RESEARCH OPEN SCIENCE PUBLISHING Thomas Ingraham Development Editor f1000research.com @f1000research
- 3. WHAT IS F1000RESEARCH? An Open Science publisher for life scientists that accepts all scientifically sound articles. Key features •Near-immediate publication (within 10 days) •Transparent, post-publication peer review •All data included •Accepts non-traditional article types • Over 6000 eminent scientists members • ≈ 1,300 of which are on the F1000Research Advisory Board
- 4. REMOVING BARRIERS TO EARLY ACCESS: POST-PUBLICATION PEER REVIEW
- 5. BARRIERS TO EARLY ACCESS Conventional publishing • ‘New research’ rarely new by the time it’s published • Peer review the rate-limiting step
- 6. REMOVING BARRIERS TO EARLY ACCESS Post-publication peer review • Articles published following quick in-house editorial check • Peer reviewers influence dissemination, not publication • Allows experts to build upon findings immediately after publication. Solve real-world issues faster
- 7. REMOVING BARRIERS TO EARLY ACCESS F1000Research combines the advantages of a pre-print server with the advantages of an OA journal on a single, open platform Pre-print server OA Journal Early access to results & data Editorial input Precedence for authors Peer review & indexing Multiple versions Publication ethics Perfected paper OA Readers can keep up to date with peer review status and versions through ‘article tracking’
- 9. THE F1000RESEARCH APPROACH TO SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHING “Open science means many things, but primarily scientific knowledge that people are free to use, re-use and distribute without legal, technological or social restrictions.” - OKF Open Science Working Group Knowledge product Utility when Open Path to Open Articles Access to new methods, results & conclusions Remove paywalls Referee reports Various Provide suitable platform Data Validation and re-use Provide suitable platform Software Validation and re-use Provide suitable platform Non-traditional research Limits publication bias Provide suitable platform
- 10. TRANSPARENCY IN PEER REVIEW
- 11. ISSUES WITH TRADITIONAL PEER REVIEW SYSTEM • Lack of accountability - Anonymous reviews - Editorial decisions may not reflect reviews • Lack of transparency - What happened with this paper before it was accepted? • Inefficiency - Re-reviewing the same work at different journals •Delays - incidental (reviewing takes time) - deliberate (reviewers delaying competitor papers) Cartoon by Nick D Kim, strange-matter.net
- 12. OPEN PEER REVIEW Referees Referees aarree iinnvviitteedd eexxppeerrttss Referee reports are visible and Referee reports are visible and named named RReeffeerreeee rreeppoorrttss aarree cciittaabbllee:: ccrreeddiitt
- 13. BENEFITS OF OPEN PEER REVIEW Benefits for authors and readers •Reviews put paper in context, strengths and limitations •Reduces bias among reviewers (social pressure for objectivity) •More constructive, quality reviews •Published reports can help teach young researchers •Proves peer review has been done! (Bohannon sting) Benefits for reviewers •Display informed opinion of the work •Demonstrate experience as a reviewer •Credit for their report (reports citable)
- 14. HOW F1000RESEARCH REFEREES JUDGE ARTICLES Options: Decision based on scientific quality, not impact or novelty. (no or minor revisions) (major revisions) (serious, fundamental flaws. Does not = reject!) + Detailed comments that provide context, state strengths and limitations, and suggest improvements Indexing requires at least: or Open reviews are respectful and Open reviews are respectful and constructive! constructive!
- 15. VERSIONING
- 16. VERSIONING Different versions of Different versions of the article are tracked the article are tracked Referees can update Referees can update their statuses their statuses Unique DOI for each Unique DOI for each version version
- 17. VERSIONING
- 18. PUBLISHING OPEN DATA & SOFTWARE
- 19. FULL DATA INTEGRATION WITH RESEARCH ARTICLES Data mandatory for Data mandatory for research articles research articles Datasets within article Have their own DOI Datasets within article Have their own DOI DDaattaa:: CCCC00 Data articles: for big and Data articles: for big and small datasets small datasets
- 20. BENEFITS OF INTEGRATING DATA WITH ARTICLES Adapted from Kratz and Strasser (2014). F1000Research. • Validation through peer review • Everything in one place • Extensive description of data allows for better interpretation • Better visibility through indexing
- 21. INTERACTIVE DATA
- 22. OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE • Software papers: credit for software tools. Detailed documentation, case examples and high visibility (through indexing) • Considerations: ensuring access, reuse and permanence
- 23. OTHER FEATURES
- 24. OTHER NOVEL ARTICLE TYPES Much valid science remains unpublished, wasting the investment of time and money, and biasing the scientific record. • Software tools • Data notes • Null results • Publication bias • Observation articles • Document ecological events that might impact agriculture Boero et al. 2013
- 25. ARTICLE COLLECTIONS An F1000Research Article Collection can be personalized for the relevant community it serves, and cited as a whole. Article collections can be continuously updated and tracked Open Knowledge in Agricultural Development collection
- 26. ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGES (APC) Gold Open Access Model • APC categories: $250, $500 and $1000 (depending on article type). Discounts & waivers • All subsequent versions: free • AGORA: full and partial waivers • Science publishing, education & communications: waived for 2014 (+ 2nd GODAN meeting) • Mainland China authors: waived for 2014 • Submissions during OA week: waived (20-26 October) • Referees: 50% off APC of next article • Submissions to article collections: 20% off APC • Observations & negative results: 20% off APC (before 31-Jan/28-Feb) • Institutional packages: Various levels of discount
- 27. SUMMARY: F1000RESEARCH’S APPROACH TO OPEN SCIENCE • Near-immediate publication Open, invited peer review conducted after publication • Transparent peer-review Signed referee reports and author responses published alongside each article • No editorial bias Publication of all findings, including null results, software tools and observation articles • Data included All research articles accompanied by the data on which they are based
Editor's Notes
- Including Nobel Prize Winners and Open Science leaders
- GM food researcher example
- F1000Research combines the speed of a pre-print server with the quality assurance of a journal on a single, open platform Pre-prints are often used before submitting to closed journals or as an end in themselves
- By suitable I mean providing a platform that ensures free use and re-use, that also provides the services that journals provide, such as ensuring permanent access to, and proper archiving of, these products.
- Can be scooped during review process No recent published work to show for funding applications Lab members leave during revision process, and paper may never be published if the project is abandoned. Slows down research progress Frustrating...
- Not approved does not equal reject. Cannot publish elsewhere
- How citations work
- Observation articles: Ecological processes can significantly influence agricultural activities. Almost all ecological science is focussed on devising experiments that can identify ecological rules. However, ecological process are subject to rare contingencies that can significantly influence the trajectory of an ecosystem. Take the following example published by Boero et al. (citizen science project) Salp Bloom. Very rare occurrence in the Adriatic. Salps feed on phytoplankaton and compete with crustacean filter feeders, which in turn are food for many commercially important fish species. A salp bloom can deplete phytoplankton levels, and thus significantly disrupt this food chain, leading to decreases in fish reproductive success. If this phenomemon was not reported (which it almost always isn’t due to a lack of appropriate platforms), it could result in fishery scientists who, after a few months, might record anomalies in the age classes of some fish species while being unable to link them to any particular cause.
