There is biology in medicine and medicine in biology and that is the reason why F1000 now combines the Faculty of 1000 Medicine and Faculty of 1000 Biology into one product – Faculty of 1000. F1000 has made their product to help researchers read the best or the most interesting articles within a field quick and easy and that in contradicted with the need to search for information in 2 platforms with related topics.
There is going to be a lot more features but F1000 themselves highlights the following:
- Main Evaluations page
http://beta.f1000.com/evaluations
F1000 Biology and F1000 Medicine have been combined and all disciplines can be searched together. You’ll notice our new rating system with the FFa (Faculty Factor – article) logo. Coming soon: FF ratings for journals.
- Evaluations with Comments functionality
http://beta.f1000.com/3574956
Now authors, subscribers and Faculty members can comment on an article and the evaluations that have been made. In this example on jet lag and cancer, see the evaluation, a dissenting opinion, and the authors’ responding comment.
- F1000 Posters prototype

We are thrilled to present our prototype, open access repository for posters. We’ve already had hundreds of posters deposited; this page shows cell biology posters from various conferences.
